NEW LONG-STANDING SAVOY-LEAVED. A 
- strain 
of outstanding merit. It will stand in marketable condition 
10 to 14 days longer before bolting than regular Savoy and 
is darker green. One of the advantages is that the inferior 
early shooting male plants are entirely lacking. It is in¬ 
tensely crumpled and blistered and very uniform. Wherever 
Bloomsdale is grown, this strain gives wonderful results. 
BLOOMSDALE SAVOY-LEAVED, Reselected. Best for 
fall, but if sown very early in the spring will produce a good 
crop. This early, productive variety produces large, glossy, 
dark green leaves, crumpled or blistered, very thick and of 
great substance. The most largely grown Spinach. Has a 
tendency to bolt to seed in warm weather. 
Virginia Blight-resistant Bloomsdale Savoy. A distinct 
strain of American origin selected and propagated from 
plants that show a blight-resisting vigor under actual blight 
conditions where ordinary strains of seed could not be suc¬ 
cessfully grown. Best suited for fall crop. Superior to other 
strains for late sowing, even where blight is not prevalent. 
Giant-leaved Summer. The best of all smooth-leaved 
varieties. Immense, broad, medium green, thick leaves; a 
quick grower and stands quite well. 
Juliana. The best second-early; grows close to the ground; 
dark green crumpled leaves keep fresh looking and retain 
their crispness a long time after being cut; stands well. 
LONG SEASON. An excellent second-early variety with 
-1 small plants growing close to the ground; 
very dark green, thick, somewhat crumpled leaves—almost 
as crumpled as the Savoy-leaved—and short, fleshy stems. 
Does not readily crush. Will stand for a long time.

SUMMER. We recommend this especially for 
-* spring planting, during April and May, 
to raise a crop for cutting in succession to such varieties as 
Viroflay, Victoria, and Long Season. It will not bolt to seed 
or lose color for nearly 14 days after these varieties are 
beyond use. It forms a stocky plant with dark green 
blistered leaves of good substance. 
Victoria. A low-growing variety, forming, flat on the soil, a 
rosette of exceedingly thick, dark green, glazed, much- 
crumpled leaves. Good for either spring or fall sowing and 
stands for a long time before going to seed. 
Viroflay, Giant Thick-leaved. Large, upright, early, rapid 
grower with very thick, large, slightly crumpled, medium 
green leaves. Fine for fall and spring sowing. 
New Zealand. A distinct Spinach differing from any of the 
true Spinach varieties. Thrives in hot weather and on any 
soil, rich or poor. The plant is of spreading habit, growing 
very large, with comparatively small, broad, pointed leaves.
