The Hot Weather Spinach 
70 days. This plant, when prepared for the table, so 
greatly resembles spinach in appearance and flavor 
that most people will not be aware of the difference.

an abundance of rich green foliage all during the 
summer and fall. Sends out fresh growth continu¬ 
ously after being cut so that a supply of “greens” 
may be had until frost destroys the plants. Both the 
stems and leaves are fleshy and brittle and of the 
finest quality when cooked. Plants are not hardy.
