thin to 3 inches. For early use, sow in the fall, 
or sow in early spring for late spring or summer 
use. Fine fall spinach can be grown by planting 
seed August 20th to September lst, and winter 
spinach can be planted until October 15th.

GIANT CAVALLIUS —A new giant 
novelty from Denmark, especially valu- 
able for greenhouse eulture; also for out- 
side planting during late fall or winter 
in mild climates near the Coast. It is 
claimed to produce 3 to 6 times more 
than standard varieties. In greenhouses 
it developes its greatest production dur- 
ing a maximum day length of’ 10 to 11 
hours. The plants are tall with smooth 
leaves of bright green color. It grows 
rapidly and has splendid cooking quali- 
ties. If planted during spring and sum- 
mer it will grow about like ordinary 
spinach. Therefore it should be planted 
in greenhouses for growth during the 
dark winter months. This is also true of 
outside culture in localities suited for it. 
We have not grown this novelty but it 
comes from a responsible source so we 
believe it is well worthy of a trial as 
mentioned. Prickly seeded. We offer 
seed from the originator. Offered in 
packets only at 25c¢ each. 
*GIANT LEAF — The largest and the 
most productive of any sort we have 
tried. Plants 20 inches across are not 
uncommon on good soil. The leaves are 
simply immense and deep green. Very 
heavy, brittle and tender. It is very slow 
to run to seed and is especially valuable 
for spring, summer and fall cutting. 
*NORTHLAND—A dark green selec- 
tion out of Giant Leaf. It has all the 
good characteristics of that variety and 
in addition, a darker color. 
*IMPROVED THICK LEAF or VIRO- 
FLAY—tThis variety is very popular and 
we have a fine strain of seed. The leaves 
are broad and smooth and of medium 
deep green. It will stand more cold 
weather than any other sort and is very 
popular for fall sowing and early spring. 
HOLLANDIA—A giant leaved prickly 
seeded sort; very popular with gardeners 
for spring, summer and fall cutting. Dark 
green, broad, thick leaves. 
*LONG STANDING SAVOY — Very 
early with upright crumpled leaves. 
Slow bolting. 
New Zealand Spinach 
A good summer vegetable which re- 
sists the heat and can be cut throughout 
the season. Plant seed after the ground 
becomes warm. It differs in appearance 
from the regular spinach but is prepared 
in the same manner. Postpaid. Pkt. 10c; 
oz. 25c; %4 lb. 65¢; Ib. $1.75.
