Blue Bag Spinach 



Bloomsdale, 40 days— The Landreths introduced and 



named this variety in 1828, since when it has become a standard and now 

 appears in nearly all catalogues. As an Autumn sort it is superior to all others, 

 but in the Spring it is inclined to shoot early. The leaves are twisted and 

 bloated, giving them when ready for shipment an elasticity adapting them for 

 transportation to long distances and at the same time giving the crop large 

 measuring quahties. As a consequence far more barrels of Bloomsdale Spinach 

 are cut to the acre than any other variety, often as much as 150 barrels. The 



illustrations partly indicate the twisted and bloated character of the leaves. 

 Our Bloomsdale crop was immense in vigor and of absolute purity 35 15 10 5 



Round Savoy Leaved, 42 days. — Sold by other houses as Bloomsdale. We here 

 offer seed of Spinach of that variety which is sold by other seedsmen as Blooms- 

 dale Spinach at a low price. To those who are looking for a cheaper article we 



recommend this 30 15 10 5 



Long Standing Round Seed, 45 days. — ^A prostrate variety of thick leaves and 



dark color. Slow to shoot to seed, and valuable for that reason 35 15 10 5 



Viroflay, 48 days (monstrous leaved).— A mammoth sort of fair quality, used 



largely in Europe. Requires high manuring 30 15 10 5 



Ever Ready, 50 days. — So named because it continues in 



cutting condition three weeks longer than the latest. A variety of most superior 

 qualities; leaves dark in color, more pointed, short-jointed, resisting cold 

 and the most intense heat. Decidedly the best for spring sowing. A good 



successor to Bloomsdale, leaves being dark in color, thick and bloated 35 15 10 5 



Long Season, 50 days. — Leaves dark in color, almost black; savoyed, thick, 

 succulent and tender. Slow to shoot to seed; consequently remaining long 

 in cutting condition. Stronger and more desirable in every way than the 



Victoria. Excellent for spring seeding 35 15 10 5
