SPINACH 
Sow in rows 16 to 20 inches apart and thin to 6 inches apart in the row when leaves 
are an inch wide. In the North, seed can be planted as soon as the ground can be pre- 
pared. In the South, Spinach will winter over with little or no protection. 
Unless otherwise noted: Pkt. 10c; 1 oz. 20c. 
New Zealand. A distinctive type of Spinach with small, triangular leaves of deep green. 
The tender leafy shoots are gathered as they grow and cooked like ordinary Spinach. Very 
useful in hot, dry weather, when other varieties run to seed. Pkt. 10c; on SC. 
New Giant Leaf. The largest and most productive of any sort we have tried. Plants 
20 inches across are not uncommon on good soil. The deep green leaves are immense 
yery heavy, brittle and tender. It is very slow to run to seed and is especially valuable 
for spring, summer and fall cutting. 
Improved Thickleaf. A very thickleaved variety of good size. The leaves grow rapidly 
and remain in good condition a long time. Leaves are medium green, rounded, slightly 
crumpled, succulent and tender. It is an excellent home garden type. Best for fall 
planting as. it will stand more cold weather.

TOMATO—Cultural Directions Ree: : 
1. In addition to planting certified strains of select varieties all seed should be dis- 
infected at time of planting. Seed borne diseases are eliminated in this manner with 
very little trouble and expense. Dust the seed with Spergon or Semesan. 
2. Sow the seed indoors in flats in February or March and transplant when 2 inches 
high. Late April or early May is the best time for setting in the field. -s ues 
3. Fertilize the plants when setting out by watering with a “booster solution’. This is 
made by adding 1 oz. of a commercial plant food such as Vigoro to each gallon 
of water. ; 
4. Cover the plants with ‘‘Hotcaps’’, the miniature transparent hotbed covers, if 
nights are cold or there is danger from frost. _ oe 
5. Control beetles and other insects by dusting with a good all-purpose garden dust 
as soon as planted in the garden.
