in appearance. Our stock is well warted and uniform in size.

815 ROYAL ACORN. (Mammoth Table Queen.) 
85 days. For market growers and also for home use, these ‘‘king-size’’ 
Acorn Squash are just what is wanted. The fruits have the same ridged 
shape and fine dark green color as the popular small Table Queen but 
are larger, measuring 6 to 7 inches long and 5 inches across. The flesh 
is thick and excellent for baking and they keep well in storage. By far 
the most popular with commercial growers because of its big yields of 
uniform squash. Pkt: 15c; Oz. 35c; 14 Lh. 85c;' 4 Lb. $1.25. 
820 TABLE QUEEN. Also Known as Acorn or Des Moines. 85 days.

and delicious, and the squash are just the right size for serving in the 
shell. They are dark green, 4—5 in. long, deeply ribbed and will keep 
all winter. Pkt. 10c; Oz. 35c; 14 Lb. 85c; 4% Lb. $1.25. 
821 UCONN. Acorn Squash on a Bush Vine. 75 days. No garden is too 
small for Uconn—its compact bush vines permit close planting but pro- 
duce plenty of small early fruit. Of good quality for baking in the shell 
and will keep quite well although they turn partly yellow when stored. 
They have the ridged acorn shape with medium dark skin. 
Pkt. 15¢; Oz. 35c; 144 Lb. 85c; 4% Lb. $1.25. 
800 IMPROVED WARTED HUBBARD. Dark Green. 110 days. Thisstrain 
produces large fruit covered with warts and of very dark green color. 
They are noted for their keeping qualities and sell well in the markets, 
as the fruit is very handsome. We offer a particularly fine true strain 
of Chicago Warted Hubbard, the best strain of this type obtainable. 
It is preferred by critical market growers for its uniform shape and 
heavy yields. 
Pkt. 10c; Oz. 35c; 14 Lb. 90c; 4% Lb. $1.40.

America 
This crop was thriving in August! 
A cool weather crop, spinach is best in spring or fall, although America can be grown in the 
summer. New Zealand is not a true spinach but provides tasty greens even in hot weather.

749 AMERICA. (New.) By Far the Finest Long Standing Spinach. 
47 days. America is the best crumpled leaf spinach for warm weather. It grows slowly but the 
thick dark green leaves hold up in summer for market and are delicious to eat at any time. 
The plants are low-growing, more compact than other kinds and the yields are exceptionally 
heavy. Long after most spinach has gone to seed, America is in prime condition, dark colored, 
heavily crumpled, tender and glossy. It is ideal for home use or commercial growing. All 
America Silver Medal. Pkt. 15c; Oz. 35c; $4 Lb. 75c. 
752 DARK GREEN BLOOMSDALE. For First Crop. 43 days. A distinct, extra dark green spinach for 
very early sowing and for wintering over. The large, well crumpled plants grow quickly and 
have a rich deep green color. Outstanding early market strain. Pkt. 10c; Oz. 25c; 14 Lb. 55c. 
750 BLIGHT-RESISTANT SAVOY. Grow for Fall Crops. 40 days. In late summer and fall, 
most spinach is stunted or destroyed by mosaic, called “blight’’ or “‘yellows’’. This kind is 
resistant and makes fine large crops. It grows rather upright with dark, well curled leaves, uni-. 
form and of fine quality. Valuable for wintering over. Not a long-standing type but our strain 
is superior to most. Pkt. 10c; Oz. 25c; 14 Lb. 55c. 
762 OLD DOMINION. A Longer Standing Blight Resistant. 41 days. Well crumpled leaves and 
stands without bolting longer than other resistant strains. A heavy yielder, valuable for late fall 
or early spring sowing in places where spinach blights. Pkt. 10c; Oz. 25c; 14 Lb. 55c. 
768 VIKING. Early, Large, Dark Green, Long Standing. 
46 days. Similar to Heavy Pack, Northland, etc., and widely grown for commercial canning and 
freezing. Viking grows rapidly with big broad leaves, nearly smooth and rounded in shape, 
and it stands well without bolting. It is the heaviest yielder we know, for the plants will 
grow to enormous size if not cut when young. Always tender and delicious, Viking is one of the 
very best home garden types and the smoother leaves are easy to wash. 
Pkt. 10c; Oz. 25c; 14 Lb. 55c. 
765 SPECIAL SUMMER SAVOY. Delicious Crinkled Type. 45 days. This uniform, attractive spin- 
ach is still popular for late spring crop. The plants are medium large, vigorous and dark in 
color, and the well-crumpled leaves are tender and of fine flavor. It is an excellent home garden 
Diag long-standing and desirable for market as well. Very well-bred stock, good yields. 
Pkt. 10c; Oz. 25c; 14 Lb. 55c. 
755 LONG STANDING BLOOMSDALE. 45 days. 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 sowing 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. 25c; 14 Lb. 55c. 
758 New Zealand Spinach 
70 days. 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, pro- 
ducing 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 summer 
and fall. The seed is slow to germinate and should be soaked 24 hours betore planting.
