finally, the important matter of earliness. 
CULTURE. Spinach needs 
cool, moist weather. The seed 
should be sown early in the 
spring in rows one foot apart 
and thinned to six inches in 
the row. A fall crop of spinach 
may be sown in late July or 
August and will do well during 
the cool, moist autumn days. 
For city gardens we recommend 
the New Zealand spinach or 
Lucullus Swiss Chard as both 
of these greens can be cut over 
and over again all season. One 
pkt. will plant 20 feet; 10 to 
14 lbs. an acre. For larger 
amounts than quoted, see our 
Market Gardeners’ Price List, 
opposite page 1. 
*400. PRINCESS JULIANA. (48 
days.) Very dark green crumpled leaves, 
round and thick. It lacks entirely the earlier 
bolting male plants and as a result the crop as 
a whole remains much longer in marketable 
condition, Pkt., 5c; oz., 10c; 14 Ib., 25c; Ib., 
80c, postpaid. ais 

Bloomsdale Long Standing.

pointed but broad, and crumpled like those of 
Savoy cabbage. Stems-three inches long. It is

505. WISCONSIN HAVANA NO. 307, 
A strain of black root-rot resistant tobacco, re- 
cently introduced by Professors James Johnson 
and Howard Heggestad of the Wisconsin Agri- 
cultural Experiment Station, which is similar to 
No. 142. The new strain has somewhat larger 
leaves but not quite as many to the plant and 
does not sucker as much toward the base of 
the plant. Growers who like No. 142 but object 
to its surplus of suckers should be sure and 
try this new strain. PkKt., 10c; oz., $1.15; %
