lific, a few hills will suffice to keep the family well supplied

smooth and cylindrical, without striping or mottling.

bushy plant is very productive of attractive fruits, weighing 
about 2 pounds. The skin is distinctly warted and bears a 
bright yellow color, while the flesh is pale cream, firm, and

mer squash. Fruits straight and smooth, of a delicate creamy 
color. Vines produce abundantly. 50 days.

South, spinach will winter over with little or no protection. 
Pkt. 5c; 1 oz. lie. 
Nobel, or Giant Thick Leaved. Of rapid growth. The leaves 
are the largest of any type and keep well after picking; med- 
ium-green, rounded, slightly crumpled, succulent and tender. 
Excellent for the home garden, 
Improved Thick Leaf. The seed of this thick leaved variety 
produces the largest spinach. The leaves grow rapidly and re. 
main in good condition a long time. The medium green leaves 
are large, rounded, slightly crumpled, succulent, and tender 
New Zealand. Although not a true spinach, the leaves look 
like spinach and are very useful as greens. On soil too poor to 
grow spinach successfully, the plants thrive and produce 
groups of small fleshy leaves that are tender and delicious 
when cooked.
