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. Makes strong plants which will resist heat and give 
an abundance of rich green foliage all during the summer and fall. 
Sends out fresh growth continuously after being cut so that a supply 
of ‘“‘greens’’ may be had until frost destroys the plants. Both the » 
young stem tips and leaves are fleshy and brittle and of the finest 
quality when cooked. Plants are not hardy; they attain a spread of 
4 ft. when fully grown, with thick, succulent stems and small, thick, 
light green leaves. Pkt. 10¢; oz. 35¢; 14 lb. $1.25; 1% Ib. $2.30. New Zealand Spinach
