CULTURE. Tlois 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 Bloomsdale Spinach 



604. Long Standing Bloomsdale Savoy. 



("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 

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

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

 cts.; 2 ozs. 15 cts.; Va lb. 20 cts.; lb. 40 cts., postpaid; 

 10 lbs. at 30 cts., 25 lbs. at 25 cts., 100 lbs. at 18 cts. lb.

 dark green leaves are of the finest quality. Pkt. 5 cts.; 2 ozs. 

 15 cts.; V4 lb. 20 cts.; lb. 40 cts. 



113. Spring Spinach. 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 3 weeks after other varieties of spinach have shot 

 to seed. It can be planted all spring and summer with surety 

 of making a crop. Pkt. 5 cts.; 2 ozs. 15 cts.; V4 lb. 20 cts.;

602. Bolgiano's Selected Bloomsdale Savoy. 



A mammoth seeded selection that possesses a vitality 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.; 2 ozs. 15 cts.; V4 lb. 20 cts.; lb. 35 

 cts., postpaid; 10 lbs. at 22 cts, lb.; 25 lbs. at 20 cts. lb.; 50

 than any other blight resistant type. Pkt. 5 cts.; 2 ozs. 15 

 cts.; 1/4 lb. 20 cts.; lb. 50 cts.; 100 lbs. at 25 cts. lb.

 sistant. Its growth is rapid and leaf is properly curled,

 cts., 25 lbs. at 25 cts., 100 lbs. at 18 cts. lb., not postpaid.

 in the spring the plants will resist hot weather and produce 

 right up until hard freezing weather sets in. An abundance 

 of thick, fleshy succulent leaves. Pkt. 5 cts.; 2 ozs. 15 cts.; 

 V4 lb. 25 cts.; lb. 75 cts..

139. Tendergreen or Mustard Spinach, a cross be- 

 tween 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 gathered and 

 boiled for greens just like turnips, mustard, spinach or kale. 

 The flavor of tendegreen equals that of any other green.
