Eat Spinach for Iron 



_M.-S. Reselected Bloomsdale Savoy-leaved Spinach 
SALSIFY or OYSTER 
PLANT 
Sow 1 ounce of seed to 70 feet of drill; 
about 8 pounds to an acre 
CuLtTuRE. Sow as early as ground can be 
worked in spring, in drills 1 inch deep, and 
thin out to 6 inches in the row. Cultivate the 
same as for carrots and parsnips. A part of 
the crop may be left in the ground until 
spring, when it will be found fresh and 
plump. The roots are cut into pieces 4 inch 
long, boiled until tender, and then served 
with drawn butter, in which way it is a 
delicious vegetable. They are also mashed 
and baked like parsnips and have a sweet 
and agreeable flavor like that of the oyster. 
110 days. Soil C. 
Mammoth Sandwich Island. An im- 
proved type and the largest and most 
profitable Salsify now in cultivation. The 
roots are white and are satisfactory in 
every way. Invaluable to market gardeners 
and truckers. 


SPINACH 
Sow 1 packet of seed to 50 feet of drill; 
15 to 20 pounds to an acre 
CuLtTurRE. Sow in early spring, m 
drills a foot apart, every 2 weeks for 
a succession, and, as it grows, thin 
out for use. For fall use, sow in 
August, and for winter crop in Sep- 
tember. Cover that which is left over 
winter with straw or leaves after the 
weather becomes quite cold. Sow 
seed of New Zealand in hills 2 feet 
apart each way, 3 or 4seeds in a hill. 
45 to 55 days. Soil B. 
Dark Green Bloomsdale. A better 
and darker strain of the well- 
known Reselected Bloomsdale, Its 
darker color gives the leaves fresh 
appearance for a longer time after 
being cut than ordinary Bloomsdale. 
M.-S. RESELECTED BLOOMS- 
DALE SAVOY-LEAVED. The 
popular fall Spimach so largely 
grown for market. Grows upright, 
the leaves being crumpled, dark 
green, and very thick. ; 
New Long-standing Bloomsdale. It is 
almost as early and quick-growing as the 
old Bloomsdale, but it will stand in market- 
able condition 10 to 14 days longer before 
going to seed. ‘ 
Old Dominion. A _ blight-resisting Long- 
standing Spinach for fall sowing. Well- 
curled dark green Jeaves. Plants are com- 
pact and lie close to the ground. 
Virginia Blight-resisting Bloomsdale 
Savoy. Although of lighter color and not 
as heavily crumpled as Reselected Savoy, 
this strain is absolutely blight-proof and 
will succeed where the older variety blights. 
New Zealand. Thrives during the hottest 
weather in any soil, rich or poor. The 
tender tips may be cut every few days till 
frost. When the ground is_ thoroughly 
warm, soak seed for 24 hours and plant 
4 seeds in hills 2 feet apart each way.

A recent introduction from China and 
India. Better than spinach or chard, and does 
well in hot weather. Easy to grow. As greens,
