Manns' Extra Dark Green Savoy

 Plant Breeder for uniformly curled large heavy plants.

^ 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 charac- 

 teristics and absolute freedom from smooth leaved plants. 



Virginia Blight Resistant ^ f*^^'" °^ Biooms- 



^ i^ " dale Savoy especially 



developed by the Virginia Experimental Station for the pur- 

 pose of resisting the disease commonly called yellows. Used 

 extensively in the vicinity of Norfolk and in other sections 

 where blight is encountered. It matures very quickly and is 

 therefore preferred for early fall sowing. 



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. 



Old Dominion developed at the Virginia 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. 



Manns' Presto Savoy ^ p"^''^^ ^•^^''^'^ ^^"^^^ p°"- 



sessing 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.
