Holland Field of Early Long Standing Savoy for Seed 
Near- 
Manns’ Early Long Standing Savoy ,**:. 
early as reselected savoy but has the very valuable advantage 
of standing in perfect condition, without bolting to seed, 10 
to 14 days longer than other varieties. This feature is worth 
thousands of dollars to spinach growers, for with this variety 
it is possible to market the crop when it is convenient and 
advantageous for the grower to do so. Many severe losses 
have been incurred because cutters were not available, weather 
conditions unfavorable, or prices were too low, but Early Long 
Standing will wait for cutters, for weather, and for prices. 
Very successfully grown for supplying 
Long Season local markets during warm weather when 
other varieties have gone to seed. The beautiful large plants 
are in prime condition in about 50 days and remain market- 
able for 15 to 20 days. Somewhat earlier than Juliana and 
producing extremely dark glossy green leaves, thoroughly 
savoyed, thick and firm in texture. 
Princess Juliana Greatly resembling savoy as the 
picture opposite will show; much 
slower in growth, however, and very late in going to seed. 
The ideal variety for late spring sowing, as it thrives well 
in warm weather and is in great demand as long as the 
weather permits shipping.

Giant Smooth Leaved 7h most popular variety in 
Holland for home use an 
largely used by Western packers of fancy canned goods because 
of its excellent quality and very dark green color. The flat, 
extremely heavy leaves do not ship well but are ideal for the 
grower who contracts by weight. 
Southland Summer New special strain of Swiss 
; ; Chard more closely resembling 
real spinach, producing large heavily crumpled leaves of a 
bright green color. Will eventually replace New Zealand. 
(TETRAGONIA EXPANSA) Not related 
New Zealand to regular spinaches but forming larger 
spreading plants producing fleshy brittle tips and leaves which 
= used as spinach. Of delightful flavor and practically ever- 
earing. 
3 A new prickly 
Manns’ Presto Savoy Leaved ® rem prick 
possessing outstanding merits over the Roundseeded 
Bloomsdale, which it resembles identically. Presto is the 
earliest and quickest growing sort of spinach. It is much 
hardier than any other variety and will stand cold and 
unfavorable weather conditions where round seeded sorts 
will decay and wilt. In addition to this it shows a remark- 
able resistance against blight, which is a hereditary prop- 
erty in the parent stock, from which it originated.
