SPINACH 
No plant makes more palatable and nutritious greens than Spinach. For 
spring and summer use, sow the seed in drills 1 foot apart and | inch deep, 
as early as the ground can be worked, and make successive sowings every 
2 weeks up to May 15th. Thin the plants to stand 6 inches apart in the row. 
For fall use sow the seed in early August; for spring use sow about September 
Ist. Keep Spinach well cultivated and water liberally during dry weather. 
One package of seed will sow 25 feet of row; 1 ounce 75 feet. 
«Blight-Resistant Savoy. 42 days. Plant this variety in the fall. We 
do not recommend it for spring as it goes to seed more quickly than most kinds 
during hot weather. This strain we offer here is almost as curled as Long 
Standing Bloomsdale. The savoyed and crumpled large dark green leaves of 
upright growth make it a splendid variety for both home and market.

Did any of our readers ever hear of “Strawberry Spinach” (Blitum capitatum) ? 
Vick’s Magazine of August, 1887, describes it in a letter from a Dr. T. H. Hoskins of 
Newport, Vt., as “singularly beautiful Strawberry-like fruits borne abundantly on plants 
with blistered foliage, regarded as a very early and excellent sort of ‘greens’.” One of 
the few spots where it was known to thrive was Indian Point, Lake Memphremagog, in 
New England. 
NEW ZEALAND SPINACH 
The Cut-and Come-Again Spinach That Yields Continuously All Season Long 
Unlike the true Spinach, it thrives during hot weather and in any soil, rich or poor. 
The tender shoots are of splendid quality, and may be cut throughout the entire 
summer. If you have never grown this great green, it will pay you to try it this season. 
Gardeners all over the country are loud in their praise of it. Both the rich green, 
fleshy leaves and the stems are of the finest quality when cooked. Plant three or four 
seeds in hills 2 feet apart each way. Germination of the seed can be hastened by 
scaking in warm water 24 hours. Ready in 70 days. Pkgow15¢s70Z2, s5¢

duce plants from which cuttings may be made 
all summer. Just break off the leaves and
