 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 sovoyed and stand 

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