. Dreer's Improved Long Standing Spinach 845 Dreer's Improved Long-standing. Most varieties of Spinach have the bad habit of shooting to seed before half of the crop has been disposed of, but the outstanding feature of the above sort is, as its name implies, its remarkable long standing qualities. The plant forms compact thick tufts, with numerous broad leaves of a rich dark green, and much crumpled. The leaf stalks are very short, being another important point in favor of this sort. A sowing of this variety every 3 or 4 weeks will insure a constant supply of this health- ful vegetable. Pkt.,
