“TI am pleased to tell you that your Reselected 
and New Early Long Standing varieties of Savoy 
Spinach Seed surpass all other strains that I have 
ever grown. Crops produced have been found to 
command the very highest market price.’’ 
W. P. Kofskey, Dundalk, Md. 
Manns’ Reselected Bloomsdale Savoy 
This new strain has been developed in response to the urgent 
demand on the part of large spinach growers for an improvement 
in the quality of the regular commercial Bloomsdale grown in Hulland. 
The crops produced from it are so far superior in quality to the 
regular commercial stocks of Bloomsdale Savoy, chat practically 
all large growers are using it to the exclusion of the un-selected 
stock. There is just a little difference in the prices of the seed but 
the market value of the crop is greatly increased. Mann’s Reselec- 
ted Savoy cuts more bushels per acre because of its perfectly 
savoyed luxuriant growth, and commands a higher price per bushel 
because of its fancy quality. 
The plants are large, heavy, uniform and in every way especially 
re-selected to match the ideal Bloomsdale Savoy type. Lb., 25c; 
10 Ibs., $2.00; 25 lbs., $4.50; 100 Ibs., $16.00. 
SUPERIOR VEGETABLE SEEDS 
SPINACH 
1 oz. to 100 ft. of drill; 12 to 15 
Ibs. per acre. 
One of the most staple vege- 
tables of the American table, 
possessing highly valuable and 
health giving qualities; easily 
grown, requiring but little atten- 
tion and in sections where the soil 
is rich, very profitable crops are 
produced. 
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 al; the plants to 
stand. 
For winter and early spring 
use, sow either in drills or broad- 
cast 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. 
Virginia Blight Resistant Bloomsdale 
A strain of Bloomsdale Savoy especially developed by 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 sowing. Our 
seed is grown from thoroughly reliable, genuine Virginia Blight 
Rane stock. Lb., 35c; 10 Ibs., $2.75; 25 Ibs., $6.00; 100 lbs 
.00. 
Regular Holland Bloomsdale Savoy 
Being generally superseeded by Reselected Savoy but still used by a 
few growers because of its low price. Lb., 15c; 10 Ibs., $1.10; 25 
Ibs., $2.50; 100 Ibs., $9.00. 
: This remarkable summer variety stands 
New Triumph supreme in its ability to produce a very 
profitable crop during warm weather when all early varieties have 
ee eG seed.or wilted in the heat. Pkt., 5c; lb., 20c; 100 
s., $15.00. 
s : Midseason sort ot low spreading habit, producing 
Victoria an abundance of very dark green leaves, slightly 
crumpled in the center. Late seeding and of excellent quality.
