EAT GURNEY’S SPINACH AND BE HEALTHY 
To stay young and healthy, eat plenty of greens. Spinach, lettuce, parsley and beet greens contain 
minerals and vitamins your body needs. They are found in no other food. 
This is one of the most important of our market garden crops, and one that requires very little 
care. For summer use sow at intervals of two or three weeks from April to August, and for early 
spring crop sow in September, coveringitin exposed places with straw to protect it from severe frost.

varieties for spring planting. Produces but little 
seed, slow to commence seeding, continues to grow

hot sun and extreme dry weather better than any 
other variety. A fine strain for canning. Forms 
low, large, compact tufts, leaves broad and round 
slightly crumpled. A glossy, dark green color, 
ready to use earlier than any other spinach.

Dear Sirs: 
I am sending you an order for Gurney 
Seeds as I want to have a good garden this 
year. My neighbor planted Gurney’s seeds 
last year, and she had the best and earliest 
garden around here, so I know they are good. 
Yours truly,

SUN FLOWER 
Mammoth Russian — The plant produces 
very large heads which measure 12 to 20 inches 
in diameter, and contain an immense quantity 
of large striped seeds, which are highly valued as 
an excellent and cheap food for fowls. They eat 
it greedily, thrive well, and lay the greater num¬ 
ber of eggs. 
Increased importance of the growing of sun¬ 
flower seed is foreshadowed in the increased 
growth of the plant for forage purposes. Sun¬ 
flowers as a silage crop are said to have been 
found to be of higher food value than corn.

VEGETABLE SPAGHETTI 
This remarkable vegetable grows and sets 
fruits freely. 
The smooth creamy white skinned fruits 
measure about 8 in. ! ong and 4 in, in diameter. 
You pick the fruit when well matured and 
'cook it in boiling water for about 20 minutes, 
take it out and cut and you will find a quantity 
of stringy Spaghetti-like contents which is 
quite tasty when seasoned with vinegar, sauce, 
or cooked in other ways. 
The fruits can be stored until late spring. 
The following three points are important: 
1. Do not pick too young. Leave until fully ma¬ 
tured. 2. Do not skin or cut the fruits. They 
must be cooked whole. 3. Do not cook too long 
as this will soften the stringy texture of the 
contents.
