SPINACH 
CULTURE—For early summer use, sow as early in the 
Spring as the ground can be worked and for later use 
until April, after which time it runs to seed, except the 
New Zealand, which is a Summer variety. For Winter 
and Spring use sow from August to the middle of Novem- 
ber. Spinach should be grown only in good soil, well 
fertilized, as it does not thrive on poor land. It is best to 
sow in drills bout 18 inches apart, covering the seed about 
1 inch, and plants thinned to 4 or 6 inches. Spinach 
seed is rather delicate and it is sometimes difficult to 
get a good stand unless weather conditions are favorable. 
ae ounces of seed will sow 100 feet of row, 20 lbs. to 
the acre. 
NORFOLK SAVOY OR BLOOMSDALE—tThe standard 
Spinach for the South. Is suitable for both Spring and 
Autumn sowing. Is early, very hardy, withstanding the 
Winter, and grows rapidly; leaves are of the darkest 
green, curled to perfection, and retains its crispness long 
after being cut; for delicate flavor, nutritious and digest- 
ible. Price on application. 
NEW ZEALAND—tThis is strictly a Summer Spinach and 
should not be sown until April 15th or after danger of 
frost is past. The tender leaves may be cut every few 
days, when new leaves promptly take the place of those 
which are cut and the new growth continues until frost. 
It will not stand the winter, as it is killed by frost. The 
seeds germinate better and more quickly if soaked in 
warm water overnight just before sowing. Plant 4 seeds 
in hills 2 feet apart. Pkt. 10c; oz. 20c; %4 Ib. 70c; Ib. 
$2.50; postpaid. 
SQUASH 
CULTURE—After danger of frost is past, plant in rich, 
soft, loamy soil in well fertilized hills. Plant 8 to 10 
seeds around in the hill, and when plants are well up and 
begin to leaf, thin to 3 of the strongest plants. The hills 
for the bush varieties should be about 5 feet apart and 
the running kinds about 8 to 10 feet. One ounce will 
plant about 15 hills; 3 lbs. to the acre. 
D. & B.’"S EARLY WHITE BUSH—The most popular va- 
riety for early home use. Is nice size, very prolific; light 
cream color, of delicate flavor. Pkt. 10c; %4 lb. 25c; Ib. 
$1.00; postpaid. 
MAMMOTH WHITE BUSH—While similar in shape to the 
Early White Bush from which it was originally derived, it 
is of a considerably larger size and more uniform in 
shape, a beautiful waxy white color and about a week or 
10 days later. Has tender flesh of good quality and yields 
abundantly. Pkt. 10c; 44 lb. 25c; lb. $1.00; postpaid. 
TABLE QUEEN—We can truly say that the height of 
Squash quality is still unknown to one who has not eaten 
half a Table Queen, baked and buttered. In size Table 
Queen equals a fair sized husked cocoanut, and a half, 
baked, serves one person amply. The shell is unusually thin 
and it does not require over twenty minutes for baking 
or boiling. The color is dark green, changing to bright 
golden after picking and storing. The meat is dry and 
mealy. It yields enormously—a few hills furnishing an 
eek supply for a good sized family. Pkt. 10c; 4 Ib. 30c; 
Ib. $1.00. 
GIANT CROOKNECK—tThe best and richest Crookneck 
Summer Squash. It is an early Bush Squash of bright 
golden yellow color, profusely warted, very prolific, grows 
to a good size and bears continuously through the sum- 
mer. Pkt. 10c; 44 lb. 25c; Ib. $1.00; postpaid. 
EARLY YELLOW SUMMER CROOKNECK—A desirable 
table sort, very early and productive—fruits when ma- 
tured, small crooknecked and covered with warty ex- 
erescenses. Pkt. 10c; 14 lb. 30c; lb. $1.00.
