Extra Dark Oreen Savoy 



Virginia Blight Resistant 



(39 days) A strain of 

 B 1 o o m s d a 1 e 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.

fall or l:ite winter sowing, a truly reselected strain devel- 

 oped by a Holland Plant Breeder for uniformly curled 

 large heavy plants. 



Old Dominion '•*^ '^''^'^^ Developed at the Vir- 

 \^l\J. l^yjlllUllUll. gi^ij^ 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.

than Reselected. but the phints :ire larger, less liable to 

 bolt to seed, more heavily crumpled and of more upright 

 growth. The very dark green color, however, is its chief 

 adv.antage 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 

 smonth leaved plants. 



(42 days) A prickly seeded variety 

 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 imfavorable weather conditions better 

 than round seeded sorts.
