OLDS’ SPINACH 




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 re- 
Mains much longer in marketable condition.

CULTURE: 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, Spinach is rich in 
vitamins. For city gardens we recom- 
mend the New Zealand Spinach or Lucul- 
lus Swiss Chard as both of these greens 
can be cut over and over again. One 
pkt. will plant 20 feet; 10 to 14 lbs. 
an acre. For larger amounts than quot- 
ed, see Market Gardeners’ Price List. 
*404. LONG - STANDING 
GAUDRY OR NOBEL. (45 days.) 
(Also called Nobel, Improved Aragon, ) 
Where a fairly smooth leaf spinach is 
desired we consider this variety 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

*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; 0z., 10c; %

*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 valuable for both 
the home and market gardener. Pkt., 5c; 02., 10c; %4
