SPINACH—Continued 
*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. 
*LONG STANDING SAVOY — Early 
with upright crumpled leaves. Slow 
bolting. 
New Zealand Spinach

SEEDS SMALL PART OF COST 
Why prepare and cultivate a garden with 
the cheapest seed? A. few cents additional 
in cost of seed may spell the difference 
between success and failure. Our’ vegetable 
seeds are high quality and popular with

dear at any cost. Yet, with all, our prices are 
reasonable and still maintain quality.
