BLOOMSDALE SAVOY LEAVED 
A very popular variety to sow for the late fall cutting. It is quick 
growing and a heavy cropper, producing large, fleshy, dark 
green leaves which are deeply crumpled or savoyed. It is largely 
grown for an early spring or fall crop. If sown in the spring, 
it must be cut as soon as ready, as it quickly runs to seed. Sea- 
son 40 days.

LONG SEASON 
Spinach sown in the late spring and summer has a habit of going 
to seed just when it should be ready for market. Henderson's 
Long Season grows more slowly than other varieties, but after 
attaining its growth will stay in that condition for a much longer 
time. The plant is'small, with lustrous green leaves which are 
short, broad, and thick. The leaf stems are very short, which 
so greatly reduces the size of the plant that it forms a com- 
pact, dense rosette, perfect in color and it occupies less room 
than any other variety. Season 50 days.
