All Spinach— Packet, 5c; ounce, 
15c. Spinach is a cool season 
annual, grown for greens. No 
spinach will stand extreme summer heat without 
‘shooting’ seed stalks. For this reason the seed must 
be sown early in the spring or late in the summer to 
avoid the danger of the crop maturing in July or 
August. For spring and summer use sow as early as 
the ground can be worked and make successive 
plantings every two weeks until May 15th. The leaves 
will be ready for use four or five weeks after sowing. . 
For Autumn use, sow seed about August Ist. Spinach 
will grow very large and can be cut from the first of 
September until the ground freezes.

finest spinach on the American market today. It is 
the largest-leaved spinach grown and is exceedingly 
crisp, tender and tasy. It grows rapidly and remains 
in good condition a long time, making it fine for 
market. The medium-green leaves are large, rounded, 
slightly crumpled, succulent, and tender.

All Radishes — Packet, 5c; 
ounce, 15c. The common Radish 
will germinate in four to five 
days and if grown properly will have useful 
roots ready to harvest in twenty-eight to thirty 
days. If it takes longer than this the roots will 
be spongy, acid or woody, hence useless. The 
secret of getting crisp, delicious radishes is 
guick growth; for this they need a rich mellow 
soil. Sow the seed about one-third of an inch 
deep in drills not over 8 to 12 inches apart. 
All through the spring a succession should be 
sown every ten days. Keep in mind that an old 
radish is a worthless one and being harvested 
as soon as possible, they must be quickly grown 
and of course kept thoroughly cultivated. It is 
advisable to use crude Naphthalene flakes in the 
soil at the time of sowing seed. This will protect 
the crop from soil insects such as maggots and 
worms.
