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 

 promptly as it quickly runs to seed. Season 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 compact, dense rosette, perfect 

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

 Season 50 days.

OLD DOMINION BLIGHT RESISTANT. This is a long standing 

 Blight-Resistant Spinach of recent introduction. It is the result 

 of a cross between Virginia Blight Resistant Savoy and King of 

 Denmark. It reaches marketable size about as early as Virginia 

 Savoy, but will stand several days longer before bolting. It will 

 not, however, stand as long as New Long Standing Savoy. The 

 leaves are well crumpled, and of a beautiful dark green color.

PRICKLY SEEDED BLOOMSDALE (HARLEM MARKET). This new 

 variety closely resembles the ordinary Bloomsdale Savoy in ap- 

 pearance, but it is slightly earlier, faster growing, and being a 

 prickly seeded type, is much hardier and will withstand unfavor- 

 able growing conditions better than the round seeded varieties. 

 The plants are dark green in color, leaves well savoyed and stand 

 nearly as long as Long Standing Savoy before going to seed. 

 Season 43 days. |b. 10 lbs. 25 lbs. 100 lbs.
