SPINACH 
618 Summer Savoy ¥ 
Resists hot weather (46 days) 
A recent selection of the Bloomsdale 
type, remarkable for its ability to 
stand without forming seed stalks. 
Plants very low growing, heavily sa- 
voyed, with extra thick, dark green 
leaves. For early spring and fall 
sowing Bloomsdale Long Standing 
cannot be surpassed, but for summer 
cutting this variety seems to give the 
best results.

very heavy texture. Desirable for spring 
or fall sowing.

during the summer when true spinach fails.

succulent. Each branch continues to produce 
until frost. Plants are not hardy.
