as possible in spring in rows 1 to 2 feet apart with a covering 
of not more than % inch of soil firmly pressed down. When 
the plants are well up, thin them 8 to 12 inches apart in the

Hamburg, Thick Rooted. The root of this variety is edible 
and resembles a slender Parsnip in color and shape. The

the best Savoy strain with remarkable long-standing proper¬ 
ties. Will remain in perfect condition two weeks longer than 
other Savoy strains. Very uniform and almost entirely de¬ 
pendable. 
Nobel (Giant Thick Leaved). A recent introduction and the 
best of the round seeded thick leaved varieties. Heavy yield¬ 
ing, leaves very large, thick, broad, smooth and deep green in 
color. We recommend “Nobel” for either home, market gar¬ 
den or canning use.

produces the largest Spinach. The leaves grow rapidly and re¬ 
main in good condition a long time. The medium green leaves 
are large, rounded, slightly crumpled, succulent, and tender. 
It is an excellent home garden Spinach. 
New Zealand. Although not a true Spinach, the leaves look 
like Spinach and are very useful as greens. On soil too poor to 
grow Spinach successfully, the plants thrive and produce 
groups of small fleshy leaves that are tender and delicious 
when cooked. Each branch of the plant produces others, so 
that it goes on providing a continuous supply of greens 
throughout the Summer.
