SPINACH 
(Italian—Spinace) 
Spinach to be at its best should have a really rich 
soil. Sow seeds for the first crop in the Spring just as 
early as the ground can be worked and make succes- 
sive sowings at two week intervals until the latter 
part of May. For Autumn use sow about August 15, 
Sow in drills allowing at least 15 inches between rows. 
One ounce to 50 feet of drill, 12 pounds to the acre. 
New Zealand Spinach is entirely distinct from other 
varieties, and its treatment is somewhat different. 
The seed should be soaked in warm water a few hours 
before sowing. Allow at least 24 inches each way be- 
tween plants for they have a low spreading habit. 
7043 New Zealand Spinach. 70 days. This 
plant is generally considered a Spinach, but it 
is not botanically related to that family. The 
plants have a spreading growth, with many 
side-shoots, and it is a true cut-and-come- 
again vegetable. The leaves are small, very 
thick and tender when young. Plant is robust, 
extremely drought-resistant, and _ prolific.

Comet Tomato 
Red Currant Tomato 
TOMATO 
(Italian—Pomo d’Oro) 
Sow the seeds in a greenhouse, hotbed 
or warm window about the middle of 
of March. Prick off the seedlings into flats 
of rich soil allowing about 3 inches between 
plants. Gradually harden off and transfer 
the plants to the open garden in May. 
Allow about 4 feet each way if the plants 
are to be permitted to ramble over the 
ground or use Tomato supports. One 
ounce will produce about 2000 plants, 
3 ounces to the acre. 
The cropping dates are figured from 
the time plants are set out in the 
Spring. 
7080 Breck’s Belmont. 75 days. 
Medium-sized fruits of brilliant 
crimson color with no acidity, no 
core, and but few seeds. Belmont 
has a quality, a flavor and an ap- 
pearance all its own, and it is often 
taken for hothouse grown fruit 
when offered for sale. It is best 
grown as a trellis variety or on poles, 
but when field-grown without sup- 
port, it produces abundantly. Our 
seed stock is very choice and somewhat lim- 
ited. It is not obtainable elsewhere. Try Bel- 
mont. You won't regret it.
