CULTURE. This is an important market gardener's crop, 

 of easy culture. For spring and summer use sow either 

 broadcast or in drills 1 foot apart and 1 inch deep as early 

 as the ground can be worked, and every two weeks for a 

 succession. For winter and early spring use sow in Septem- 

 ber in well-manured ground; cover with straw on the approach 

 of severe cold weather. The ground cannot be too rich; the 

 stronger the ground the more delicate and succulent will be 

 the leaves. 



Selected Bloomsdale Spinach 



604. Long Standing Bloomsdale Savoy. 



(48 days) ("Best in Garden" Variety) 



This new selection possesses extreme merit for the 

 spring crop. While not quite so early as the old type 

 Savoy, it may be harvested long after other types have 

 grown to seed. The dark green, heavy foliage is as 

 heavily savoyed as the best of other strains. Pkt. 5 

 cts.; 2 ozs. 15 cts.; V4 lb. 20 cts.; lb. 40 cts., postpaid; 

 not postpaid, 10 lbs. at 20 cts., 25 lbs. at 17 cts., 100 lbs. 

 at 15 cts. lb. 



601. Victoria Spinach. (48 days.) The foliage is heavy, 

 the broad, dark green leaves are of the finest quality. Pkt. 

 5 cts.; 2 ozs. 15 cts.; 'A lb. 20 cts.; lb. 40 cts., postpaid. 



603. Spring Spinach. (48 days.) The most valuable for 

 spring sowing. Its long-standing quality makes it the best for 

 that purpose. The foliage is very attractive, heavy dark green, 

 curled leaves, of the true Savoy appearance. It will stand 

 from 2 to 3 weeks after other varieties of spinach have shot 

 to seed. It can be planted all spring and summer with surety 

 of making a crop. Pkt. 5 cts.; 2 ozs. 15 cts.; V4 lb. 20 cts.; 

 lb. 40 cts., postpaid. Not postpaid, 10-lb. lots, 21 cts. lb.; 25- 

 Ib. lots, 20 cts. lb.; 100-lb. lots. 17 cts. lb. 



99. Old Dominion. (45 days.) This is the latest devel- 

 opment in blight resistant spinach. Leaves are a beautiful 

 dark green, well blistered. Plant is compact and lays low to 

 the ground. While early in season, it is a rapid grower and 

 stands longer than any other blight resistant type. Pkt. 5 

 cts.; 2 ozs. 15 cts.; V4 lb. 20 cts.; lb. 40 cts., postpaid. Not 

 postpaid, 100-lb. lots, 18 cts. lb. 



602. Bolgiano's Selected Bloomsdale Savoy. 



(45 days.) A mammoth seeded selection that possesses a vi- 

 tality and vigor of growth and far outyields any other variety. 

 After many years of tireless effort at breeding we are pleased 

 to be able to ofi'er a limited quantity of this improvement on 

 the old standby. So we would advise your early orders, for 

 when our stock gives out, you will have to wait until our new 

 crop is harvested. Pkt. 5 cts.; 2 ozs. 15 cts.; 14 lb. 20 cts.; lb. 

 35 cts., postpaid. Not postpaid, 10-lb. lots, 15 cts. lb.; 25-lb. 

 lots, 14 cts. lb.; 50-lb. lots, 13 cts. lb.; 100-lb. lots, 12 cts. lb. 



605. Extra Dark Green Savoy Spinach, it is prob- 

 ably about 2 days later than Bloomsdale Savoy but the plants 

 are larger and less liable to bolt to seed, more heavily crum- 

 pled and of more upright growth. The very dark green color 

 is however the chief advantage. The plant breeder in making 

 the selection for this dark green color has also improved the 

 strain in its savoyed characteristics and entire freedom from 

 smooth leaved plants. Pkt. 5 cts.; 2 ozs. 15 cts.; M lb. 20 cts.; 

 lb. 40 cts., postpaid. Not postpaid, 10 lbs., 20 cts. lb.; 25-lb.

 early in the spring the plants will resist hot weather and pro- 

 duce right up until hard freezing weather sets in. An abund- 

 ance of thick, fleshy succulent leaves. Pkt. 5 cts.; 2 ozs. 15 

 cts.; Va lb. 25 cts.; lb. 75 cts.; 2-lb. lots, 65 cts. lb.; 5-lb. lots,

 flavor. It is desired by many in preference to spinach or 

 mustard. It can be grown most of the year, being quite hardy

 ered and boiled for greens just like turnips, mustard, spinach
