Culture—Sow the seed in good, rich ground free from 
acid, 1 inch deep, in rows a foot apart. The fast: 
bolting or quick growing types may be sown very 
early in the spring or from August 15 until frost. 
The slow bolting types may be sown during the sea- 
son when it is impractical to sow the early types. An 
ounce will sow’ 100 feet; 8 to 10 pounds per acre in 
drills. (If broadcast, sow 12 to 15 pounds per acre.) 
Matures in from 45 to 55 days. 























New Zealand (Tetragonia expansa). Not a 
true spinach, unlike spinach in that. it thrives 
during hot weather and,in almost any soil, rich 
or poor. The tender shoots are of excellent 
quality and may be cut throughout the summer., 
The plant becomes very large and spreading, 
with comparatively small leaves. Plant three or 
four seeds in hills two feet apart each way. 
Germination is very slow, and can be hastened 
somewhat by soaking in warm water for 24 
hours. Pkt., 10c; 4% tb., 40c; 1 lb., 70c; 5 Ibs., 
$2.75. Bloomsdale Leng Standing Savoy 

Bloomsdale Long Standing Savey. The most out- 
standing improvement in spinach in years. It 
resembles the Old Savoy but is more compact in 
growth and has a more intensely dark green color. 
Grows a little slower than Reselected Savoy, but 
will stand heat better. In fact, it will saty in. 
prime condition for cutting two weeks longer than 
most varieties. Most of our customers who grow 
a great deal of spinach have now used this variety 
for several seasons and are much pleased with it.

smooth, rounded, and of great size. Although a 
very quick grower, it stands well before going to 
seed. Packet, 10c; 1% lb., 30c; 1 Ib., 55c.
