SPINACH 
No plant makes more palatable and nutritious greens than spinach when properly prepared. Seed should be planted in very 
rich ground, the richer the better. Sow in drills sixteen to twenty inches apart and thin to about six inches apart when the 
leaves are an inch wide. All should be cut before hot weather, while young and tender. For early spring use sow early in 
autumn and protect the plants with a light covering of leaves or straw, or plant as soon as the land can be worked in the 
spring. Under favorable conditions the leaves may be large enough for eating in eight weeks. South of Cincinnati spinach can 
be grown through the winter with very little or no covering. 
This sort is known also as 
Savoy Leaved Bloomsdale and as Norfolk 
Savoy Leaved. It is avery early variety and one 
of the best to plant in autumn for early spring use. 
The plant is of upright growth, with thick, glossy, 
dark green leaves of medium size, pointed but quite 
broad, and crumpled or blistered like those of Savoy 
cabbage. It is hardy and grows rapidly to a suitable 
size for use, but runs to seed quickly in warm 
weather. Seed round. This spinach is suitable for 
the home garden and is much used by southern 
truckers. Postpaid, Pkt. 10c; 2 Oz. 15¢; %4 Lb. 20c;

e This differs 
Long Standing Bloomsdale sightiyfrom 
the older strains of Savoy Leaved, in being thicker 
and rounder in leaf and a little lighter in color. It 
comes into use about a week later than other 
strains of Savoy Leaved, but it seems to stand un- 
favorable weather conditions without bolting to 
seed nearly as well as King of Denmark. _ Its long 
standing quality makes it a valuable addition to the 
_ spinach list. (See illustration and further descrip-

J li A new variety resembling Victoria in form of leaf and habit of plant but larger and somewhat rounder leaved. By 
uliana removing the early bolting male plants, the originators of this variety have produced a spinach that is ready for use 
soon after the early sorts and a very even growing sort that remains in condition a long time. This will prove a desirable 
variety to follow the early spinaches for succession, and its even growing habit will prove profitable to the commercial grower.
