SPINACH 
New Zealand Spinach 
This plant is generally considered a 
spinach but it is not botanically related 
to that family. The plants have a spread¬ 
ing growth, with many side-shoots, and 
it is a true cut-and-come-again vegetable. 
The leaves are small, very thick and 
tender when young. Plant is robust, 
extremely drought-resistant, and will 
produce an abundant crop of greens. Pkt. 
5c; oz. 20c; 341b. 60c; lb. $1.75. 
SQUASH 
One ounce of Summer varieties plants 50 hills; 
one ounce of Winter varieties 20 hills 
The Summer varieties with a bushy habit 
of growth are admirable for even the smallest 
home-gardens. There are now so many 
varieties of Squashes that new uses and 
methods of cooking are rapidly bringing 
them into deserved popularity. A few seeds 
planted on a compost-pile will often give a 
fine crop with no care whatever.
