thrives during hot weather and in any soil, 
rich or poor. The tender shoots are of 
good quality and may be cut throughout 
the summer. Plant three or four seeds in 
hills two feet apart each way. This Spin¬ 
ach can be used in August or September or 
up until frost. By using only the leaves, 
it will sprout out again. Oz, 5c; 14 lb., 20c. 
GIANT NOBEL LEAVED SPINACH— This 
new Spinach grows very rapidly and attains 
a large size very early. The yield is con¬ 
sequently large and the fact that it is pro¬ 
duced very early makes this one of the most 
profitable varieties for spring sowing. The 
plants stand remarkably well without bolt¬ 
ing. The leaves are of the largest size, 
nearlv smooth, thick and quite deep green.
