 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 earls'. The leaves are twisted and bloated, giving 

 them when ready for shipment an elasticity adapting them for transoortation to long 

 distances, and at the same time giving the crop large measuring qualities. As a conse- 

 quence 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 of past Summer was immense in vigor and
