1005 New Zealand O 
The Hot Weather Spinach 
70 days. This plant, when prepared for the table, so greatly 
resembles spinach in appearance and flavor that most peo¬ 
ple will not be aware of the difference. Some consider the 
flavor even better than that of regular spinach. Makes 
strong plants which will resist heat and give an abundance 
of rich green foliage all during the summer and fall when 
true spinach fails. Sends out fresh growth continuously 
after being cut so that a supply of “greens” may be had 
until frost destroys the plants. It is not hardy and cannot 
stand frost. Pkt. 100; oz. 150; 4 ozs. 250; V 2 lb. 350; 
lb. 600; 2 lbs. $1.10; 5 lbs. $2.40; 10 lbs. $4.50.
