New Zealand Spinach Is Exceptionally Well Adapted to Florida Growing Conditions 
SPINACH 
No vegetable makes more nutritious “greens” than Spinach. 
It contains an abundance of health-producing vitamines and 
is also very rich in iron, which is so much needed for the blood 
system. Bloomsdale is a desirable variety for winter use, but 
New Zealand Spinach does better in hot weather. 
Culture for Bloomsdale Spinach. Successful for fall and 
winter planting. Does not grow well in hot weather. Plant 
seed in rows 16 to 20 inches apart and thin to 4 to 6 inches 
apart in the row. May be planted broadcast, thinning plants to 
stand about 10 by 10 inches apart. Plant 1 ounce of seed per 
hundred feet of row or 12 to 15 lbs. per acre in rows, or 20 to 25 
lbs. broadcast. 
Culture for New Zealand Spinach. As seeds are very hard 
and germinate with difficulty, soak them in warm water for 
twenty-four hours to hasten germination. Plant seed in rows two 
feet apart, and drop three or four seeds per hill about 20 inches 
apart in the row. Plant three to four pounds of seed per acre.

BLOOMSDALE. (35 days.) Our re-selected strain of this 
variety is the very best obtainable, disease-resistant, early, and 
hardy. The plant is of rapid, upright growth, very thick, glossy, 
dark green leaves of medium size, pointed but quite broad and 
crumpled or blistered. This is the best winter variety and a 
great favorite with southern shippers.

NEW ZEALAND. (55 days.) Entirely distinct from the true 
Spinach. The plant is tall and spreading, with numerous 6ide 
shoots. It grows to a height of 1 foot and spreads to a radius 
of 2 feet. Leaves are very thick, light green, rather small, broad 
and pointed. It grows well in hot weather and under adverse 
conditions, and is sometimes called “Summer” or “Hot-weather 
Spinach.” The leafy tips of the branches are removed and new 
growth follows, making possible many cuttings. New Zealand 
Spinach should be in every Florida garden as a summer vege¬ 
table. 
Pkt. 5c; Mlb. 25c; 1 lb. 75c.
