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. 
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 valu¬ 
able for both the home and market gardener. Pkt., 5c; 
oz., 10c; Vi lb., 20c; lb., 45c; 5 lbs., $1.80, postpaid.

“Please send children’s free garden seeds also. My 
little girl had parsnips from these where I could not 
get even parsnips to grow from another company’s 
fresh seed."

potatoes a year ago and they were 
very good. I can say your seeds 
give good satisfaction.”

403. NEW ZEALAND. (70 days.) 
Entirely distinct from true spinach in 
type. Thrives in hot weather and in any 
soil, rich or poor. The .stems and leaves 
are soft, thick, fleshy and crystalline in 
appearance; plant, tall and spreading, 
with numerous side shoots; leaves rather 
small and pointed. Pkt., 5c; oz., 10c; Vi 
lb., 20c; lb., 50c; 5 lbs., $1.80, postpaid. 
Princess Juliana. 
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 con¬ 
dition. Pkt., 5c; oz., 10c; Vi lb., 20c; lb., 
45c; 5 lbs., $1.80, postpaid. 
OLDS* SPINACH 
Bred for Thick Leaves and Longer Season 
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 
popiilar 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. 
()ne pkt. will plant 20 feet; 10 to 14 
lbs. an acre. 
CULTUEE: 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.

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.

leafy. Pkt., 10c; 1/2 oz., 30c; oz., 56c;

CUT HAVANA NO. 38. Its charac¬ 
teristics are: vigor of growth; good 
breadth; weight and texture of leaf; im¬ 
provement of leaves at base of stalk; 
improved market quality, consisting partly 
of wrapper qualitj' that blends with the 
filler tobacco without flavoring the latter; 
and finally, the important matter of earli¬ 
ness. Pkt., 10c; Vi oz., 30c; oz., 66c;
