SPINACH 
No vegetable makes more nutritious “greens” than Spin¬ 
ach. It contains an abundance of health-producing vitamins 
and is also very rich in iron, which is so much needed for the 
blood system. Bloomsdale is a desirable variety for winter 
use, but New Zealand Spinach does better in hot weather. 
Culture of Bloomsdale Spinach. Successful for fall and 
winter planting. Does not grow well in hot weather. Plant 
seed in rows 16 to 20 inches apart and thin to 4 to 6 inches 
apart in the row. May be planted broadcast, thinning plants 
to stand about 10 by 10 inches apart. Plant 1 ounce of seed 
per hundred feet of row or 12 to 15 lbs. per acre in rows, or 
20 to 25 lbs. broadcast. 
Culture for New Zealand Spinach. As seeds are very 
hard and germinate with difficulty, soak them in warm water 
for twenty-four hours to hasten germination. Plant seed in 
rows two feet apart, and drop three or four seeds per hill 
about 20 inches apart in the row. Plant three to four pounds 
of seed per acre.

BLOOMSDALE. (35 days.) Our re-selected strain of this 
variety is the very best obtainable, disease-resistant, early, 
and hardy. The plant is of rapid, upright growth, very thick, 
glossy, dark green leaves of medium size, pointed but quite 
broad and crumpled or blistered. This is the best winter va¬ 
riety and a great favorite with Florida shippers.

NEW ZEALAND. (55 days.) Entirely distinct from the 
true Spinach. The plant is tall and spreading, with numerous 
side shoots. It grows to a height of 1 foot and spreads to a 
radius of 2 feet. Leaves are very thick, light green, rather 
small, broad and pointed. It grows well in hot weather and 
under adverse conditions, and is sometimes sailed “Sum¬ 
mer” or “Hot-weather Spinach.” The leafy tips of the 
branches are removed and new growth follows, making pos¬ 
sible many cuttings. New Zealand Spinach should be in every 
Florida garden as a summer vegetable. 
Pkt. 5c; ’/4 lb. 25c; 1 lb. 75c.
