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 os 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.
