SPINACH 



1 OS. to 100 ft. of drill; 12 to 15 lbs. per acre. 



One of the most staple Tegetables of the American table, possessing 

 highly valuable and health giying 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 eround, 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. 



Manns' Extra Dark Green Savoy 



fllij rtnmininn ^ later seeding type of Virginia Yellows 

 y^i,u Ayuiiiniwtt Resistant Savoy which stands 12 to IB 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* Reselected Bloomadale 



This strain bat 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 b^ 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 towing. 

 Our seed is grown from thoroughly reliable, genuine Vir- 

 ginia Blight Resistant stock. 



Manns* Extra Dark Green Savoy ^nt'ln'troductilns^'oi 



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, it its chief advantage and in making the 

 selections for this deep color the plant breeder nas also improved the 

 strain in its savoyed characterittict and absolute freedom from smooth 

 leaved plants.
