SPINACH 
Epinard Espinaca Spinace 
One packet will sow 20 feet of row; one ounce is enough for 150 feet. 
Sluing as possible and thin the plants to 
stand 4 to o inches apart in the row. Repeat sowing every two weeks until the 
beginning of summer, and again in September for fall and winter use. Spinach 
IS hardy, but in severe climates the plants should be covered with hay or straw 
during the winter. 
Bloomsdale Savoy. An early, productive variety with rich, glossy, 
crumpled leaves, very thick and meaty. The best for fall use but 
will produce a good crop from spring sowing. 
Bloomsdale Long Standing. A thick-leaved variety which grows 
rapidly to large size. The plants will stand 10 days or longer before 
bolting than usual varieties of this type 
Improved Thick Leaf. Rapid-growing variety with thick, slightly 
crumpled leaves, which grows large and dense without going to seed. 
King of Denmark. Large, round, deep green leaves somewhat blistered 
and curled. Plants are vigorous and are ready to use in a short time 
from sowing. In good condition long after others have run to seed. 
New Zealand. A very different type of plant from the usual Spinach, 
making branches and foliage excellent for summer use. It withstands 
the hot weather better than other varieties. 
Victoria. Low-growing variety resting flat on the soil, with dark, thick, 
crumpled foliage, good either for spring or fall sowing. Stands a long 
time before going to seed, 
Virginia Blight-Resistant. A blight-resistant strain of the Savoy¬ 
leaved Spinach, making it possible to grow Spinach successfully on 
Infected soil. A fairly early seeder. 40 days. 
SQUASH 
Kuerbiss Courge Calabaza Zucca 
One packet will plant 6 to 10 hills, according to variety; one ounce contains 
enough seeds for from 30 to 60 hills. 
Culture. Squashes require the same general treatment as cucumbers, 
melons, and pumpkins. They are hot-weather plants and should not be sowed 
out-of-doors until the weather is settled. The Early Summer Squashes may be 
grown in hills 4 feet apart each way, but the Winter Squashes make a liberal 
vining growth and need much more room. They are usually grown in a corner 
of the cornfield. 
EARLY SUMMER SQUASHES 
Early White Bush Scallop. Also known as “Patty-Pan” or “Cymbling,” 
Creamy white fruits 6 inches across, with smooth skin and delicious 
flesh. One of the earliest, and excellent for baking. 
Giant Crookneck. The greatly improved form of the old Summer 
Crookneck type, averaging 18 inches or more in length, with deep 
yellow, warty skin. Very prolific and early bearing. Excellent quality. 
Giant Golden Straightneck. Much like the Giant Summer Crookneck, 
except that fruits grow straight in the neck 
Golden Summer Crookneck. An early and proHfic variety with deep, 
rich, golden yellow skin thickly covered with warts. Delicious 
meaty flesh and few seeds. • 
WINTER SQUASHES 
Acorn or Table Queen. A hard, smooth-skinned variety which ripens 
in the fall and keeps as well as Hubbard. Dark green. 
Blue Hubbard. Very large blue-gray Squash with a hard warty shell 
which keeps and ships better than almost any other variety. 
Delicious. A Winter Squash of excellent size with a distinct top shape 
and dark green skin. Fruits average about 8 pounds each and keep 
well in storage or shipment. Excellent quality. 
Golden Hubbard. Similar in every way to the usual Green Hubbard, 
except that the rind is beautiful orange-red and not so thickly 
waited. Flavor is even richer than the usual Hubbard Squash. 
Improved Warted Hubbard. Deep green, heavily waited winter variety 
with rich orange, fine-grained flesh entirely free from stringiness. 
Vegetable Marrow or Bush Cocozelle. Long, symmetrical fruits taper¬ 
ing at the stem end. It may be used as a Summer Squash in its 
immature state, or sliced and fried like an eggplant.
