% Dark Green Prickly Seeded (Morse’s) SPIOR 
45 days. The very hardy prickly seeded variety commonly used 
for market and canning in California. The leaves are large, thick 
and dark green. 
* GIANT THICK LEAVED (NOBEL) SPINO 
(Round Seeded.) 43 days. Decidedly the best of the round seeded 
thick leaved group. Because of the enormous yield, long standing 
character, and the deep green color and smooth character of the 
leaves, this is highly recommended for canning as well as for 
home and market garden. Leaves very large, thick, broad arrow- 
shaped with rounded tip. 
Juliana (Long Standing) SPIJU 
(Round Seeded.) 50 days. The most excellent sort for long dis- 
tance shipping and, in the home and market garden, to succeed 
the extra early sorts. Plants dense, compact, with extremely 
dark green leaves that are roundish, thick and crumpled; very 
late to produce flower stalks. Similar to Victoria, but definitely 
superior in long standing quality. 
King of Denmark SPING 
(Round Seeded.) 48 days. Extremely long standing, smooth, dark 
green leaved sort for home and market garden as well as for 
canning. Plants large and spreading with large thick leaves that 
are only slightly crumpled. Spring sown crops are very often 
free of flower stalks until midsummer. 
+ Long Standing Bloomsdale SPIDA 
(Round Seeded.) 45 days. In demand for home and market 
gardens because of the uniform, handsome plants and remarkable 
long standing quality. Resembles Savoy Leaved or Bloomsdale, 
but is a trifle later, of more compact habit, a trifle darker green 
and remains free of flower stalks about two weeks longer.
