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. 22 cts.; 10 
lbs. $1.85 prepaid; 100 lbs. $16.25. Not prepaid. 
BLIGHT RESISTANT SAVOY: 39 days. Bred at

in hot weather. Recommended for late summer 
planting for fall use. Dark green, heavily savoyed.

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.; X lb. 15 cts.; lb. 40 cts.;

the fruits are much smoother than they originally

cts.; oz. 45 cts.; lb. $1.25; lb. $4.00. 
PRITCHARD’S SCARLET TOPPER, Also called

mid-season variety. The flesh is very solid, brilliant 
Northern grown Tomato seed is superior to seed grown farther 
south. More vigorous, less disease, higher germination. 
red and good quality. The globular fruits color 
evenly over the whole surface clear up to the stem. 
From some localities we have heard the criticism that 
too large a percentage of small tomatoes is produced. 
Pritchard sets a large number of fruits and we feel it 
needs a strong soil with plenty of fertility if it is to 
give satisfactory results. Pkt. 10 cts.; oz. 40 cts.;
