Holland Field of Early Lonr Standing: Savoy for Seed 



Manns* Early Long Standing Savoy [^^■J; 



early aa reselected savoy but has the very valuable advantage 

 of standing in perfect condition, without bolting to seed, 10 

 to 14 days longer than other varieties. This feature is worth 

 thousands of dollars to spinach growers, for with this variety 

 it is possible to market the crop when it is convenient and 

 advantageous for the grower to do so. Many severe losses 

 have been incurred because cutters were not available, weather 

 conditions unfavorable, or prices were too low, but Early Long 

 Standing will wait for cutters, for weather, and for prices. 



IjOna Season ^^^ successfully grown for supplying 

 y »jc.t*oi/ local markets during warm weather when 

 other varieties have gone to seed. The beautiful large plants 

 are in prime condition in about 60 days and remain market- 

 able for 16 to 20 days. Somewhat earlier than Juliana and 

 producing extremely dark glossy green leaves, thoroughly 

 savoyed, thick and firm in texture. 



Princess Juliana G^eatly resembling savoy as the 

 picture opposite will show; much 

 slower in growth, however, and very late in going to seed. 

 The ideal variety for late spring sowing, as it thrives well 

 in warm weather and is in great demand as long as the 

 weather permits shipping. 



Giant Smooth Leaved Vl1,^7\^''^^^^'' ^*"**y '5 



Holland for home use and 

 largely used by Western packers of fancy canned goods because 

 of its excellent quality and very dark green color. The flat, 

 extremely heavy leaves do not ship well but are ideal for the 

 grower who contracts by weight. 



Southland Summer New special strain of Swiss 



Chard more closely resembling 

 real spinach, producing large heavily crumpled leaves of a 

 bright green color. Will eventually replace New Zealand. 



New Zealand (TETRAGONIA EXPANSA; Not related 

 to regulai spinaches but forming larger 

 spreading plants producing fleshy brittle tips and leaves which 

 are used as spinach. Of delightful flavor and practically evtr- 

 bearing. 



Manns* Presto Savoy Leaved tl^;z llltll 



•^ seeded variety 



possessing outstanding merits over the Roundseeded 

 Bloomsdale, which it resembles identically. 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 where round seeded sorts 

 will decay and wilt. In addition to this it shows a remark- 

 able resistance against blight, which is a hereditary prop- 

 erty in the parent stock, from which it originated. 



Manns* Special Summer Savoy^^^^^Yhl""^ 



without bolting to seed better than any other Savoy leaved 

 type. A great improvement even on Bloomsdale Long 

 Standing. Very dark green and heavily crumpled leaves. 



Manns' Old Dominion, 35 days after sowing grown by 

 Mr. Clarence Shallcross, near Philadelphia.
