OUR IMPROVED STRAINS ARE GROWN BY THE ORIGINATORS

ALWAYS AMONG THE FIRST TO OFFER IT. 
One of the most staple vegetables of the American table, possessing 
highly valuable and health giving qualities; easily grown, requiring but 
little attention and in sections where the soil is rich, very profitable 
crops are produced. 
Select a rich piece of ground, the richer the better; and for late 
spring and early summer use, sow the seed during February, March and 
April in drills one foot to 20 inches apart, one-half to one inch deep. 
When the plants are well started thin out to 4 to 6 inches apart, or 
sow the seed thinly and allow all the plants to stand. 
For winter and early spring use, sow either in drills or broadcast 
during August, September and October. A top dressing of Nitrate of 
Soda will make a vast improvement in the earliness, size and quality of 
the crop. 
TPT, A later seeding type of Virginia Yellows 
Old Dominion Resistant Savoy which stands 12 to 15 days 
longer, having about the same season of growth as our Extra 
Dark Green Savoy. With old Dominion it is now possible to 
successfully grow an early spring crop on diseased soil, where it 
was previously necessary to take chances with the early seeding 
character of Virginia Blight Resistant. 
Manns’ Extra Dark Green Savoy 4s ‘ith other impor. 
tant introductions of 
new strains having real merit, we are among the first in America to 
offer this improved type of Bloomsdale Savoy. It is only about two days 
later than Reselected, but the plants are larger, less liable to bolt to 
seed, more heavily crumpled and of more upright growth. The very 
dark green color, however, is its chief advantage and in making the 
selections for this deep color the plant breeder has also improved the 
strain in its savoyed characteristics and absolute freedom from smooth 
leaved plants. Some of the most successful spinach growers 
Manns’ Reselected Bloomsdale Savoy in this section have already reported this new strain a very 
profitable crop. 
This strain has been developed in response to the urgent de- 
mand on the part of large spinach growers for an improve- 
ment in the quality of the regular commercial Bloomsdale 
grown in Holland. 
The plants are large, heavy, uniform and in every way 
especially re-selected to match the ideal Bloomsdale Savoy 
type. 
Virginia Blight Resistant Bloomsdale 
A strain of Bloomsdale Savoy especially developed by the 
Virginia Experimental Station for the purpose of resisting 
the disease commonly called yellows. Used extensively in 
the vicinity of Norfolk and in other sections where blight 
is encountered. 
Being an American sort, it matures very quickly and is 
therefore preferred by some growers for early Fall sowing. 
Our seed is grown from thoroughly reliable, genuine Vir- 
ginia Blight Resistant stock.
