 and not so wide as the Broad-Leaved French. The flavor is more 

 sour and preferred by many for this reason. Price Sold Out

 is an early type, especially adapted for early spring and fall plant- 

 ing. Plants large, leaves dark green, nearly as well crumpled as 

 Bloomsdale Savoy and stand longer before going to seed.

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.

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 compact, dense rosette, perfect 

 in color and it occupies less room than any other variety.
