SPINACH 



BI.OOUSBAZ.Z: SAVOY SFINACH 



VIRG-QTIA BI.IGHT BESISTIKG CTTBI.Y BI.OOMSi)AX.i:. 



— Fine for carrying over winter. 



OLD DOMINION SPINACH. — Curled: originated in the Old 

 Dominion of Virginia, at the Virginia Experiment Station. It 

 is wilt-resistant and much slower to run to seed than the Vir- 

 ginia Blight-resistant Bloomsdale. Fine for sowing in late 

 Fall to carry over for Spring cutting. 



VICTORIA IiONG STANDINa. — Slow to run to seed, dark 

 green in color. Good for spring sowing. Crumpled. 



IiONG- SEASONS. — Long standing; slow to run to seed; 

 crimped, dark green. For spring sowing. 



This is quite an important crop with market gardeners, 

 and one easily managed. For summer use, sow early in 

 spring, in drills eight inches to one foot apart, cover- 

 ing the seed one inch deep. Select rich soil and manure 

 liberally. A succession may be obtained by sowing at 

 intervals of two weeks through the season. For very 

 early spring sow in September, and protect the plants 

 through the winter by top dressing. 



DARK GREEN BI.OOMSDAI.E SAV07 SPINACH. — Ke- 

 selected; as its name implies, it has all the merits of the 

 Reselected Bloomsdale Savoy plants. Very much crumpled, 

 stands long before going to seed and only two days later 

 than the Reselected Bloomsdale. 



RESEI.ECTED BI.OOMSDAI.E SAVOY SPINACH 



Grown from pedigree stock, carefully rogued each year 

 for the true Bloomsdale Savoy Spinach plants. 



IMPROVED I.ON(r STANDING BI.OOMSDAI.E SAVOY 

 SPINACH. — Reselected; a most desirable sort, very curly 

 and dark green. Stands ten days longer than the other 

 savoy types before going to seed. "While it is a slow seeder, 

 it requires a longer time before it is fit to cut. 



TRItTMPH. — Long standing; slow seeder, crimped dark 

 green. Good for spring sowing. 



JtrZiIANA. — Reselected. Long standing. The finest crinkled 

 sort of the flat types. Lots of foliage and very shy seeder. 

 Dark green foliage and fine for summer sowing. 



NEW ZEAIiAND SPINACH. — The hot weather spinach will 

 resist heat and make a strong growth during the summer. 

 The plants will continue to grow until late fall, supplying 

 all during summer and fall an abundance of rich green leaves. 

 It cannot stand frost like other spinach; for family gardens 

 only. 



The squashes are 

 all quite tender, 

 and therefore no 

 progress can be 

 made in starting 

 them until the 

 weather becomes 

 somewhat warm 

 and settled. Plant 

 in hills five feet 

 apart each way 

 for the bush va- 

 rieties and eight 

 feet for the run- 

 ning varieties; put 

 eight seeds to the 

 hill, but don't 

 allow over three 

 to stand.
