Sweet Potato Plants 
SPINACH 
Our Spinach Seed is grown in the northern 
part of Holland where the weather conditions 
are very similar to those we have in the northern 
states. We believe that the Holland grown seed 
is superior to any other on the market. Spinach 
is a very important market crop and it is be¬ 
coming more popular each year. Spinach is rich 
in vitamins. For city gardens we recommend the 
New Zealand Spinach or Lucullus Swiss Chard 
as both of these greens can be cut over and over 
again while the other varieties of spinach can 
be cut only once. One pkt. will plant 20 feet; 
3 0 to 14 lbs. an acre. 
CULTURE : Spinach needs cool, moist weath¬ 
er. The seed should be sown early in the spring 
in rows one foot apart and thinned to 6 inches 
in the row. Upon the arrival of warm weather 
it tends to bolt to seed. By using our Long- 
Standing strains, spinach can be had over a 
much longer period as those varieties are very 
slow to seed. A fall crop of spinach may be sown 
in late July or August and will do well during 
the cool, moist autumn days. For larger amounts 
than quoted, see page 55. 
. 403. NEW ZEALAND. (70 days.) En¬ 
tirely distinct from true spinach in type. 
Thrives in hot weather and in any soil, rich 
or poor. The stems and leaves are soft, thick, 
fleshy and crystalline in appearance; plant, tall 
and spreading, with numerous side shoots; 
leaves rather small and pointed. Pkt., 5c; oz., 
10c; Vi lb., 20c; lb., 50c; 5 lbs., $2.00, postpaid. 
401. ★ KING OF DENMARK. 
(46 days.) The plants are ready for use 
as soon as the early kinds and remain 
in good condition two weeks after other 
varieties have gone to seed. The plants 
grow_ rapidly, resembling the Long Sea¬ 
son in type but leaves are more crum¬ 
pled and are darker green in color, 
thick, of good quality. Stands well after 
cutting. Equally valuable for both the 
home and market gardener. Pkt., 5c; 
oz., 10c; Vi lb., 20c; lb., 45c; 5 lbs., 
$1.80, postpaid. 
402. ★ BLOOMS DALE. (42 days.) 
(New Long-Standing Strain.) This is a 
very early variety and one of the best 
to plant in the autumn or early spring. 
One of the best for market and canning. 
The plant is of upright 
growth, with thick, glossy, 
dark green leaves of medium 
size, pointed but broad, and 
i crumpled like those of Savoy 
cabbage. Stems three inches 
long. It is very hardy. Suit¬ 
able for home gardens but 
better adapted for market 
gardeners. Pkt., 5c; oz., 
10c; Vi lb., 20c; lb„ 45c; 5 
lbs., $1.80, postpaid. 
Long-Standing Gaudry. 
404. LONG-STANDING GAUDRY OR 
NOBEL. (45 days.) (Also called Nobel, Im¬ 
proved Aragon.) Where a fairly smooth leaf 
spinach is desired we consider this variety 
superior to any other. It is as fast a grower as 
any of the early smooth varieties and at the 
same time has the long-standing qualities. The 
leaves are large, broad and thick. Pkt., 5c; oz., 
10c; Vi lb., 20c; lb., 50c; 5 lbs., $1.80, post¬ 
paid.

you have that kind but sweet potatoes will succeed in the 
north on most any soil, if grown from the plants.

plants, $5.50, postpaid. (Ready about May 15th.) 
Seed Field of Wisconsin No. 38 Tobacco. 
500. ★COMSTOCK SPANISH. The genuine strain of Comstock Spanish is 
known for its vigor of growth; its broad, heavy leaves with rounded tips, its large 
yield and its agreeable blending of flavor with the tiller. Pkt., 10c; V2 oz., 30c; oz., 
55c; Vi lb., $1.65, postpaid. 
504. WISCONSIN HAVANA NO. 142. A resistant strain of tobacco which 
originated in 1924 at the Wisconsin Agricultural Experiment Station. This variety is 
adapted to old tobacco soils, or land which is infected with root rot. It is somewhat 
later than Havana No. 38 but the plants are very straight and very leafy. Pkt., 10c; 
V2 oz., 30c; oz,, 55c; Vi lb., $1.65, postpaid. 
503. ★WISCONSIN CONNECTICUT HAVANA NO. 38. Its char 
acteristies are: vigor of growth; good breadth; weight and texture of leaf; improve¬ 
ment of leaves at base of stalk; improved market quality, consisting partly of wrapper 
quality that blends with the filler tobacco without flavoring the latter; and finally, the 
important matter of earliness. Pkt., 10c; Vi oz., 30c; oz., 55c; Vi lb., $1.65, post¬ 
paid. 
OLDS' 
Princess Juliana. 
400. PRINCESS JULIANA. (48 days.) 
One of the best long-standing varieties of 
spinach. Very dark green crumpled leaves, 
round and thick. It lacks entirely the earlier 
bolting male plants and as a result the crop 
as a whole remains much longer in marketable 
condition. Pkt., 5c; oz., 10c; Vi lb., 20c; lb., 
45c; 5 lbs., $1.80, postpaid. 
259. MUSTARD SPINACH OR TEN- 
DERGREEN. (40 days.) Not a spinach but 
a hot weather green. The hotter and drier the 
weather the better it grows. See page 39 for 
complete description. Pkt., 5c; oz., 10c; Vi lb., 
25c; lb., 60c; 5 lbs., $2.25, postpaid.
