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 liloomsdale 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 

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

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

 cts.; 2 ozs. 15 cts.; '/i lb 20 cts.; lb. 35 cts., postpaid; 

 not postpaid, 10 lbs. at 14 cts. lb.; 100 lbs., at 13 cts. lb.

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

 5 cts.; 2 ozs. 15 cts,; !4 lb. 20 cts.; lb. 35 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 8 weeks after other varieties of spinach have shol 

 to seed. It can be planted all spring and summer vrith suretj 

 of making a crop. Pkt. 5 cts.; 2 ozs. 15 cts.; !4 lb. 20 cts.; 

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

99. Virginia Blight Resistant. (40 days.) An im- 

 proved selection which is far superior to the ordinary Blight- 

 Resistant strains offered. Our strain is almost as curled as 

 our Reselected Bloomsdale, and the handsome, large, dark 

 green, much savoyed and crumpled leaves are extremely crisp, 

 tender and of upright growth. A long-standing strain of very 

 excellent quality for the market or home gardener. Pkt. 5 

 cts.; 2 ozs. 15 cts.; 14 lb. 20 cts.; lb. 35 cts., postpaid; not 

 postpaid, 10 lbs. at 14 cts. lb.; 100 lbs. at 13 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 offer 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.; 14 lb. 15 cts.; lb. 25 cts., post- 

 paid. Not postpaid, 10-lb. lots, 13 cts. lb.; 50-lb. lots, 12 cts. 

 lb.; 100-lb. lotSi 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.; % lb. 20 cts.; 

 lb. 35 cts., postpaid. Not postpaid, 10 lbs., 14 cts. lb.; 100-lb. 

 lots, 13 cts. lb. 



212. New Zealand (Tetragonia expansa). (55days.)

 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.; '/4 lb. 25 cts.; lb. 75 cts.; 2-lb. lots, 65 cts. lb.; 5-lb. lots,

139. Tendergreen or Mustard Spinach. (30 days.) A 



cross between Mustard and Spinach with a delicious spinach 

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

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

 in winter and standing hot weather as well. Leaves are gath- 

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

 or kale. The flavor of tendergreen equals that of any other 

 green. Pkt. 5 cts.; oz. 10 cts.; V4 lb. 20 cts.; lb. 65 cts.; 2-lb.
