Standing Bloomsdale. Somewhat later than Long 
Standing Bloomsdale and not quite as large but

Spinach. The large thick leaves are very dark green, 
crisp, tender and of good flavor. Nobel is very slow 
to go to seed and in our trials has outyielded other 
varieties. Leaves are only slightly savoyed. Can be 
used for first spring crop where heavy savoying is not 
a factor. Pkt. 5 cts.; X lb. 12 cts.; lb. 24 cts. ; 10 
lbs. $2.00.

planting for fall use. Dark green, heavily savoyed. 
Pkt. 5 cts.; JN lb. 12 cts.; lb. 24 cts.; 10 lbs. $2.00. 
NEW ZEALAND : 70 days. Not a true spinach; thrives 
in hot weather. It is spreading in habit, leaves are 
small, dark green and can be picked repeatedly 
throughout the season. Plants continue to put out 
new shoots until frost. Many people like this vari¬ 
ety; however, to us, the “greens’’ have a peculiar 
flavor and are not to be compared with the other vari¬ 
eties. Seed should be soaked for 24 hours before 
planting. Pkt. 5 cts.; pf lb. 15 cts.; lb. 45 cts.; 
10 lbs. $4.00.
