GIANT CAVALLIUS—A giant, valu- 
able for greenhouse culture; also for 
outside planting during late fall or win- 
ter in mild climates near the coast. It is 
claimed to produce 3 to 6 times more 
than standard varieties. In greenhouses 
it develops its greatest production during 
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 qualities. If planted 
during spring and summer it will grow 
about like ordinary spinach. Therefore 
it should be planted in greenhouses for 
growth during the dark winter months.

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.

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- 
FLA Y—This 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.

cut for greens. If you like turnip greens, 
you will be pleased with this. Very 
nutritious and easy to grow. Pkt. 10c;

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 very popular with market gar- 
deners. Cheap seeds are usually dear at any 
cost. Yet, with all, our prices are reasonable 
and still maintain quality.
