heavy leaves with rounded tips, its large 
yield and its agreeable blending of flavor 
with the filler. Pkt., 10c; Viz oz., 30c;

504. WISCONSIN HAVANA NO. 
142. A resistant strain of tobacco 
which originated in 1924 at the Wisconsin 
Agricultural Experiment Station. This 
variety is adapted to old tobacco soils, 
or land which is infected with root rot.

leafy. Pkt., 10c; Vi oz., 30c; oz., 55c;

Our Spinach Seed is grown in the 
northern part of Holland where the 
weather conditions are very similar to 
those we have in the northern states. 
We believe that the Holland grown 
seed is superior to any other on the 
market. Spinach is a very important 
market crop and it is becoming more 
popular each year. Spinach is rich in 
vitamins. For city gardens we rec¬ 
ommend the New Zealand Spinach or 
Lucullus Swiss Chard as both of these 
greens can be cut over and over again. 
One pkt. will plant 20 feet; 10 to 14 
lbs. an acre. 
CULTURE: Spinach needs cool, 
moist weather. The seed should be 
sown early in the spring in rows one 
foot apart and thinned to 6 inches 
in the row. Upon the arrival of warm 
weather it tends to bolt to seed. A 
fall crop of spinach may be sown in 
late July or August and will do well 
during the cool, moist autumn days.

Market Gardeners’ Price List. 
400. PRINCESS JULIANA. (48 days.) 
One of the best long-standing varieties of 
spinach. Very dark green crumpled leaves, 
round and thick. It lacks entirely the earlier 
bolting male plants and as a result the crop 
as a whole remains much longer in marketable 
condition. Pkt., 5c; oz., 10c; Vi 20c; lb., 
45c; 5 lbs., $1.80, postpaid. 
“I have seen your Marion Market Cabbage and 
it is the finest cabbage groicn.” 
Mrs. Morgan Payne, Kentucky. 
402. BLOOMSDALE. (42 days.) 
(New Long-Standing Strain.) This is 
a very early variety and one of the 
best to plant in the autumn or early 
spring. One of the best for market 
and canning. The plant is of upright 
growth, with thick, glossy, dark green 
leaves of medium size, pointed but 
broad, and crumpled like those of 
Savoy cabbage. Stems three inches 
long. It is very hardy. Suitable for 
home gardens but better adapted for 
market gardeners. Pkt., 5c; oz., 10c; 
Vi lb., 20c; lb., 45c; 5 lbs., $1.80, 
postpaid. 
404. LONG-STANDING 
GAUDRY OR^NOBEL. (45 days.) 
(Also called Nobel, Improved Ara¬ 
gon.) Where a fairly smooth leaf 
spinach is desired we consider this va¬ 
riety superior to any other. It is as 
fast a grower as any of the early 
smooth varieties and at the same time 
has the long-standing qualities. The 
leaves are large, broad and thick. Pkt., 5c; oz., 
10 c; V4 lb-. 20c; lb., 50c; 5 lbs., $1.80, postpaid. 
401. KING OF DENMARK. (46 days.) 
The plants are ready for use as soon as the 
early kinds and remain in good condition two 
weeks after other varieties have gone to seed. 
The plants grow rapidly, resembling the Long 
Season in type but leaves are more crumpled 
and are darker green in color, thick, of good 
quality. Stands well after cutting. Equally 
valuable for both the home and market gardener. 
Pkt., 5c; oz., 10c; Vk lb., 20c; lb., 45c; 5 lbs.,
