SPINACH 
A packet of seed will sow 25 to 30 feet of row; 1 oz. 80 ft.; 12 to 20 Ibs. of seed an acre. 
Spinach is one of the most wholesome greens for spring and fall crops. 
It does best in cool weather and may be planted very early in the spring, 
and in successive plantings until summer. Sow again in August for fall 
crop; and for wintering over, plant about Sept. 15th in this latitude 
765 SPECIAL SUMMER SAVOY, Long Standing. For 
home gardens as well as 
commercial planting this variety is the best of the Long Standing 
Bloomsdale type. The leaves are large, dark green and heavily crum- 
pled or “‘Savoyed,”’ and have a heavy texture which holds up very 
well for market and also makes the finest cooked spinach. It is the 
best for freezing. 
Special Summer Savoy stands longer in hot weather without going 
to seed than any similar kind and with it you can cut large crops of 
fine tender spinach over a period of several weeks. For spring sowing 
there is no better variety. Ours is an excellent stock, uniform and 
attractive, and for growers who want a well crinkled spinach for 
either home or market, it is unsurpassed. 
Pkt. 10c; Oz. 20c; 144 Lb. 50c. 
755 LONG STANDING BLOOMSDALE. This is the standard 
heavily blistered or savoyed type which grows quickly but stands a 
long time without bolting to seed. It is very valuable for spring sow- 
ing and is also used to plant in the fall for wintering over as it is 
quite hardy. The leaves are very thick dark green and intensely 
savoyed. Pkt. 10c; Oz. 20c; 14 Lb. 50c. 

A heavy yielding and 
delicious spinach. 

768 VIKING. Early, Large, Dark Green, Long Standing. This 
is the heaviest yielding variety we know and we 
recommend it most highly for both home and market growers. The 
leaves are very large, somewhat crumpled, dark green, quite tender 
and of excellent quality. This spinach grows fast so that it is ready 
before most other kinds. It is so large in fact, that you can start to 
cut it when it is only about two-thirds grown. 
When fully grown it attains enormous size but still retains its fine 
tender quality. It is a long standing type that does not bolt to seed 
quickly and it will produce fine spinach over a long period of time. 
Home gardeners like Viking because its big leaves are easier to 
wash than the heavy savoyed type, and it is fine for canning and 
freezing. 
Pkt. 10c; Oz. 20c; 14 Lb. 50c. 
SWISS CHARD 
A packet of seed will sow 15 feet of row; an ounce 50 feet. 

Swiss Chard is really a beet grown for its leaves. It is a healthy and nutri- 
tious vegetable that should be in every garden. Easy to grow, it stands hot 
weather and cold, and if cut it keeps on producing tender young leaves all 
season. Given a little protection over winter, it will make unusually good 
greens early in the spring. 
830 FORDHOOK GIANT. The Best Variety. Many varieties of 
Swiss Chard have been introduced but 
this one remains the best producer, the most dependable and the finest kind 
to eat. The leaves are dark green, very large, much curled or “‘Savoyed,”’ 
thick of texture and quite tender, making excellent boiling greens. The 
stems are pure white, broad and thick and make an unusual vegetable when 
. cooked separately. Either leaves or stems, or both together, are delicious to 
eat. Pkt. 10c; Oz. 30c; 14 Lb. 65c; % Lb. $1.00. 
and later farther south. New Zealand spinach will supply delicious 
greens thru July and August when the regular spinach does not do 
well. Plant both kinds for a continuous supply and try freezing some 
spinach for winter use. 

Special Summer Savoy 
Every year in our trials our strain proves its superiority. 
750 BLIGHT-RESISTANT SAVOY. Grow this Variety for Fall 
Crops. This fine strain of Savoy Spinach is resistant to the blight or 
“yellows” which is destructive in many localities, especially in the 
fall. The leaves are well blistered or ‘“‘Savoyed,”’ thick, dark green 
and upright in growth, and the yields are very heavy—altogether a 
fine spinach to grow for fall crop. Although this is not a long-standing 
spinach, our strain will stand 3 or 4 days longer than most and is by 
far the finest, most even stock obtainable. 
Pkt. 10e:'Oz) 20c.% Lb. 45e: 
762 OLD DOMINION. A Longer Standing Blight Resistant. Well 
crumpled leaves and will stand without bolting much longer than 
other resistant strains. It is a heavy yielder, and is very valuable for 
late fall or early spring sowing in places where spinach blights. 
Pkt. 10c; Oz. 20c; 14 Lb. 45c. 
752 DARK GREEN BLOOMSDALE. For First Crop. A distinct, 
extra dark green spinach for very early spring sowing and for winter- 
ing over as it is quite hardy. The large leaves grow quickly and are 
heavily crumpled with a beautiful rich dark green color that holds 
well for market. An outstanding stock. 
Pkt. 10c; Oz. 20c; 14 Lb. 45c. 
758 New Zealand Spinach 
Not a true spinach but an excellent variety to grow for summer 
greens as it thrives in hot dry weather. The plants are very large and 
spreading and branch freely, producing great quantities of small thick 
fleshy leaves. Pick off the tender new leaves at the tips of the branches, 
and the plants will continue to develop succulent new growth all sum- 
mer and fall. 
The seed is slow to germinate and should be soaked 24 hours before
