SPINACH 
A Field of 
New Long Standing Bloomsdale 
TURNIP 
1 packet will sow 50 feet of drill, 15 to 20 lbs. to an acre 
Culture —Sow in early Spring, in drills a foot apart, every 2 weeks 
for a succession, and as it grows, thin out for use. For Fall use, 
sow in August and for Winter crop in September. Cover that which 
is left over Winter with straw or leaves after the weather becomes 
quite cold. Keep clear of weeds. Sow the seeds of New Zealand 
in hills 2 ft. apart each way. 3 or 4 seeds in a hill. 45 to 55 days. 
M.-S. Reselected Bloomsdale Savoyleaved. The popular Fall 
Spinach so largely grown for market. Grows upright, the leaves 
being crumpled, dark green and very thick. Pkt. 10c., yi lb. 15c., 
lb. 25c., 5 lbs. $1.00, 100 lbs. $11.00. 
Dark Green Bloomsdale. A better and darker strain of the well- 
known Reselected Bloomsdale. Its darker color gives the plants a 
fresh appearance for a longer time after being cut than ordinary 
Bloomsdale. Though not quite so long-standing as our New Long 
Standing Bloomsdale it remains much longer in prime marketable 
condition than the old Savoy-leaved. Pkt. 10c., yi lb. 15c., 
lb. 30c., 5 lbs. $1.25, 100 lbs. $13.00. 
Virginia Blight-resisting Bloomsdale Savoy. This strain is not 
as heavily crumpled and of lighter color than the Reselected 
Savoy. However in places where plants grown from Reselected 
Savoy seed show blight, this train has proven to give excellent 
results, being absolutely free from blight. Pkt. 10c., yi lb 15c., 
lb. 30c., 5 lbs. $1.25, 100 lbs. $13.00. 
Old Dominion. A blight resisting Long Standing Spinach for Fall 
sowing. Dark green leaves, which are well curled. Plants are com¬ 
pact and lay close to the ground. Pkt. 10c., yi lb. 15c., lb. 40c., 
5 lbs. $1.50, 100 lbs. $15.00. 
New Long Standing Bloomsdale. A new strain of outstanding 
merit, that, although recently introduced, has already become a 
favorite with commercial growers on account of its splendid per¬ 
formance. It is almost as early and quick growing as the old 
Bloomsdale, but it will stand in marketable condition 10 to 14 
days longer before going to seed. Intensely crumpled, blistered, 
very uniform. Color is a deep glossy green. Wherever Bloomsdale 
is grown, this improved strain will give far more satisfactory re¬ 
sults. Pkt. 10c., lb. 15c., lb. 30c., 5 lbs. $1.25, 100 lbs. $14.00. 
Juliana. Very long standing, heat resisting, handsome dark green. 
Very thick and curled leaves. Absolutely without male plants 
which is the cause of the long standing quality. Pkt. 10c., yi lb. 
15c., lb. 40c., 5 lbs. $1.50. 
New Zealand. Of delightful flavor and practically everbearing. 
Pkt. 10c., oz. 15c., yi lb. 25c., lb. 75c.

TOBACCO SEED 
Adcock. One of the best tobaccos for poor land. The leaf is broad 
for its length; they are set well apart on the stalk, exposing a greater 
surface to the sun, resulting in a more uniform ripening and more 
even crop. Best adapted to light gray or sandy soils; cures bright. 
Bonanza. A broadleaved bright tobacco that is especially adapted 
to the sandy soils of Maryland and Virginia. Easy to cure and 
makes a rich leaf of good weight and bright color. 
Above varieties. Pkt. 10c., oz. 40c., yi lb. $1.25, lb. $4.00. 
1 packet for 100 feet, 2 pounds to the acre 
Culture —For early use sow as soon as the ground opens in Spring 
in drills from 12 to 15 in. apart; thin out to 6 or 9 in. in the rows. 
For a succession, continue to sow in July and August. The Ruta¬ 
bagas are grown for feeding stock and are also excellent for the table. 
Take up the roots in November or before severe frosts; cut off the 
tops within an inch of the crown, store in a cool cellar, or pit, or 
pile up in a conical form, out of doors, in dry ground; cover care¬ 
fully with long straw and finish by earthing up, covering them with 
about 12 or 15 in. of earth, leaving a trench around the heap to 
carry off the water. Put away in this manner they will be found in 
good condition in the Spring. From 50 to 75 days.
