Extra Dark Green Savoy 
H vl . 7 (39 days) A strain of 
Virginia Blight Resistant pyyor7sicie Savoy 
especially developed by the Virginia Experimental Sta- 
tion for the purpose of resisting the disease commonly 
called yellows. Used extensively in the vicinity of Nor- 
folk and in other sections where blight is encountered. 
It matures very quickly and is therefore preferred for 
early fall sowing. 
(40 days) 
Reselected Bloomsdale Savoy (%° 9278) 
fall or late winter sowing, a truly reselected strain devel- 
oped by a Holland Plant Breeder for uniformly curled 
large heavy plants. 
I (41 days) Developed at the Vir- 
Old Dominion ginia Experimental Station as a 
later seeding yellows resistant variety by crossing King 
of Denmark and Virginia Savoy. The plants are large, 
dark green, heavily crumpled and fast growing. It is 
one of the most hardy varieties for wintering over and 
therefore is well suited for either an early fall crop or 
for fall sowing to be cut in early spring.

Select a rich piece of ground, the richer the better; and 
for late spring and early summer use, sow the seed dur- 
ing 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. 
Number of days indicated shows time required from 
sowing to earliest cutting date. Long Standing varieties 
remain in marketable condition 10 days to 2 weeks longer. 
Extra Dark Green Savoy (27, d2ys) 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. 
(42 days) A prickly seeded variety 
Presto Savoy possessing outstanding merits over 
the round seeded Bloomsdale, which it resembles identi- 
cally. 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 better 
than round seeded sorts.
