New Zealand—70 Days. Absolutely 
distinct in form, color and habit from 
other Spinach—it is not a Spinach, 
though used as a Spinach. Foliage 
thick, succulent, dark green, never 
sunburns, a tiue heat resistant, leaves 
covered with water globules like an 
ice-plant. Later to mature for table 
than Spinach of usual form, but re¬ 
maining in edible condition ten times 
as long. Plants remain in edible con¬ 
dition from July until killed by frost. 
A sort to “cut and come again,” as 
it is most productive, continuously 
over a period of 150 days. The plants spread five 
times as wide and rise to thiee times the height of 
ordinary Spinach, covering the ground. Slow to 
germinate. Excessive heat does not check its 
growth. Listed by Landreth first in our 1832 
Catalogue. It originated in New' Zealand as the 
name implies, and was carried to England by Sii- 
Joseph Banks. A most desirable vegetable for 
small home garden w'here space is limited. Rows 
should never be less than 2 feet a])art. Plants 
should be thinned 4 to 5 inches apart.
