Varieties1 r , There are a number of varieties of spinach, differing in the shape and color of the leaves,-also the crinkly nature of the same. Pro bably the most -widely used variety is the Victoria, having a deep green, pointed foliage:: also Thick Leaf with 'a round thick, leaf of rich green color., Another rarlety which is sometimes . used Is the Savoyieaved .which has crinkly dark colored , green leaves.. . The variety Long Standing is also used by growers j who are t producing this crop for-the cannery or de bydrator.: . ' " . ; ; ? From - tests" which ' have been made It is very evident that there Is a great difference in the pro ducing power of-different strains of spinach of the same variety and therefore " one - must not, only en deavor to choose a suitable -variety but also to obtaid a high yielding strain of ed.' , ". Value of the Crop v)t ' , ' Dehydrators and canneries usu ally pffer a price of about $20 per tonlThe average market price in cities; etc., varies from 6 to 12c per pound.' depending largely ' on the season and the availability; of the crop. . 'Being -a - short, season vegetable,- onej must f igurejhat the; land can be utilized soon after the removal pf the spinach for an other vegetable, thus making it possible to double-crop the ground during the ' season; - - - f 5 sVse As Greeahoose Crop f r.

In this work, it has been found that spinach ia the most healthful of the-leafy vegetables, containing elements of all three. classes or vitamins. Spinach has been, placed on the mend of the most successful noon luncheons." Many ; parents ; come to '' the health service, Inquiring . why their children will "not -eat vege tables; and most generally after, a few questions are asked it is found that the "t parents J them selves are weak vegetarians ' and attempt to force their children to eat vegetables which they them selves do not care for. According to physicians, the added vegetable diet has been a notably strong factor in the In creased longevity of life.
