Broad Flanders space 



(Round Seeded.) 43 days. Standard home and market garden 



sort; well adapted for canning. Plants large and vigorous; leaves 



deep green, broad and thick; smooth. 

 GIANT THICK LEAVED (NOBEL) spaniel .17 .15 .14 



(Round Seeded.) 43 days. Decidedly the best of the round seeded 



thick leaved group. Because of the enormous yield, long standing 



character, and the deep green color and smooth character of the 



leaves, this is highly recommended for canning as weU as for 



home and market garden. Leaves very large, thick, broad arrow- 

 shaped with rounded tip. 

 Juliana (Long Standing) spark .17 .15 .14 



(Round Seeded.) 50 days. The most excellent sort for long dis- 

 tance shipping and, in the home and market garden, to succeed 



the extra early sorts. Plants dense, compact, with extremely 



dark green leaves that are roundish, thick and crumpled; very 



late to produce flower stalks. Similar to Victoria, but definitely 



superior in long standing quality. 

 King of Denmark sparrow .16 .14 .13 



(Round Seeded.) 48 days. Extremely long standing, smooth, dark 



green leaved sort for home and market garden as well as for 



canning. Plants large and spreading with large thick leaves that 



are only sUghtly crumpled. Spring sown crops are very often 



free of flower stalks until midsummer. 

 Long Standing Bloomsdale spawn .19 .17 .16 



(Round Seeded.) 45 days. Superior variety of the Bloomsdale or 



Savoy Leaved group much in demand for home and market 



gardens because of the uniform handsome plants and remarkable 



long standing quality. Resembles Savoy Leaved or Bloomsdale, 



but is a trifle later, of more compact habit, a trifle darker green 



and remains free of flower stalks about two weeks longer.
