SPINAT (Ger.) Spinach SPINACE (It.) 
One ounce will plant a row 100 feet long ; 20 pounds to the acre when drilled. 
Good rich soil is important to Spinach, both for its growth and in mak¬ 
ing the leaves more tender and succulent. Sow the seed in early 
spring in rows 12 inches apart; cover it an inch deep. Many broad¬ 
cast the seed, covering with a harrow or rake. Make a sowing every 
two weeks for continuous crops. Do not sow seed in dry weather; 
it will never come up. It must have a moist soil. Sow in September 
for fall and early spring crops.

SPECIAL SUMMER SAVOY. Best to sow for summer cutting. We rec¬ 
ommend this to growers who wish to cut during July and August as 
it is exceptionally long- standing. In appearance this Special Summer 
Savoy resembles Long-Standing Bloom^dale. It is possibly a trifle 
darker green and the leaves are somewhat more crumpled or savoyed 
Fkt., 5c; oz., 10c; X A lb., 15c; lb., 40c. 
LONG-STANDING BLOOM SD ALE. (Original Stock). Best for 
spring sowing, it is a favorite with truck growers. It will stand in 
marketable condition 10 to 14 days longer before bolting to seed. 
Pkt., 5c; oz., 10c; X A lb., 15c; lb., 40c. 
PRINCESS JULIANA. A midseason variety. Leaves savoyed and crump¬ 
led, very dark, glossy bluish green, firm and very thick in texture. 
Fkt., 5c; oz., 10c; X A lb., 15c; lb., 40c. 
KING OF DENMARK. (Original Stock). A medium early variety. 
Plant hardy, vigorous and rapid in growth. Leaves large; long pointed; 
younger leaves coarsely crumpled and “savoyed” but more flattened 
as they enlarge, leaves firm and thick in texture and dark dull green 
in color. Fkt., 5c; oz., 10c; *4 lb., 15c; lb., 40c. 
NOBEL GIANT-LEAVED. Early. This is a long standing variety. 
Plant very large, hardy, strong growing; compact, rather upright to 
spreading cluster. Leaves large, thick, usually broad, arrow-shaped 
with rounded tip, very slightly crumpled at heart, finely “savoyed,” 
firm and thick in texture. Fkt., 5c; oz., 10c; X A lb., 15c; lb., 40c. 
VIRGINIA SAVOY. BLIGHT-RESISTANT. It is resistant to blight 
(mosaic) and should be used where blight is prevalent. Very early. 
Recommended in the North for fall planting. Pkt., 5c; oz., 10c; 
14 lb., 15c; lb., 40c. 
OLD DOMINION. Long standing, blight resistant, it combines the 
dark, large, crumpled leaves of the savoy with the long-standing 
ability of the King of Denmark. Excellent yielder, proves valuable 
for fall and winter crops. It moreover does not go to seed as quickly 
as Old Virginia Savoy. A valuable shipping kind, and stands up well 
when cut. Fkt., 5c; oz., 10c; X A lb., 15c; lb., 40c. 
NEW ZEALAND. A distinct Spinach differing from any of the true 
Spinach varieties. Thrives in hot weather and on any soil, rich or 
poor. The plant is of spreading habit, growing very large, with 
comparatively small, broad, pointed leaves. The tender shoots can 
be cut throughout the summer and are of good quality. Soak the 
seed before sowing. Fkt., 5c; oz., 10c; X A lb., 20c; lb., 60c.

GIANT STRAIGHT-NECK. This new Squash is the same as the 
Giant Summer Crookneck, except that the necks instead of being

pack in crates. We offer seed which will produce high percentage of 
straight-necked Squashes, and is a great improvement over much of 
the seed offered. Pkt., 5c; oz., 15c; X A lb., 35c; lb., $1.25.
