crumpled and savoyed. It combines all the good qualities of 
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.

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. 
SALSIFY, Vegetable Oyster

a light, well enriched soil, which should be stirred to a good 
depth. Coarse and fresh manure should be avoided, as it will 
cause the roots to become irregular and branched. Sow early 
and quite deep, giving the general culture recommended for 
Parsnip. Pkt. 5c; oz. 15c; Y lb. 50c.
