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 1 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. 
America. Silver Medal Winner All-America Selections 1952. Very thick, 
real glossy, dark green, crumpled and blistered leaf plant. Stand longer before 
going to seed and is heavier yielding than other kinds. You can start cutting 
it for the table in 50 days after you sow the seed and it will stand in the 
garden and not go to seed for another 25 days. This gives you a very long 
harvesting season of large plants of excellent quality.

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 klinds 
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.

mer. 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. Sow the seed very early in the spring before the ground 
warms up or in the fall just before it freezes. Pkg. 15¢; oz. 35c; % Ib., 85c

that are 6 feet apart, the seeds planted 3 inches apart, 6 to the hill, and 1 inch deep.

fungous disease and from insects. Seed of these winter kinds should be sown 1 fi 
later than the summer varieties. A package of seed will make 5 hills, an ounce 15 hills. 
New America Spinach 
Dust Spinach seed, before you plant it, with 
Arasan. It protects the seed against many or- 
ganisms which cause rot, reduces damping off, 
and increases germination. SWISS CHARD 
34 oz. 25¢. Will treat several pounds of 
seed. 
Sow the seed when the ground is warm, in 
rows 18 inches apart, cover with 1 inch of 
soil. Thin to stand 10 inches apart in the 
row. Seed planted early in spring will pro- 
duce plants from which cuttings may be made 
all summer. Just break off the leaves and 
stems as they get large enough to use and 
new ones will start up and make very rapid 
growth. A short row of Swiss Chard is gen- 
erally all that the average family needs to 
supply its wants. 
A package of seed will make a 15-foot row; 
1 ounce 50 feet.
