BLOOMSDALE RESELECTED (Dark Green)—

Sometimes called Norfolk Savoy. The Landreths in¬ 
troduced and named this general type in 1826. Since 
then it has become a standard and now appears in 
nearly all catalogs in the United States and is 
equally well known in Europe. No Spinach is 
so well known as this variety and we are perfectly 
safe in saying that five times as much of this is 
sold and planted in the United States, as any 
other variety. As an Autumn sort it is superior 
to all others, but in Spring it is inclined to shoot 
early. The leaves are twisted, bloated or savoyed, 
and a glossy dark green, giving them an elasticity 
adapting them for transportion over long distances 
and at the same time giving the crop large measuring 
qualities. Edible in 40 to 55 days from planting. 
This Seed may be sown in the Autumn or as early in 
the Spring as the condition of the ground will permit. 
We advise by all means to plant in the Autumn the 
Bloomsdale Reselected Dark Green Spinach as it is 
by far the best of all the Autumn varieties. It is, 
however, not as good for Spring planting as Blooms¬ 
dale Long Standing, Juliana, or Nobel, because it 
shoots early to seed. Spinach, when planted south 
of New York City, stands out all Winter and 
during the various open spells throughout the 
Winter can be cut and sent to market as a green 
vegetable; very valuable in this respect. 
BLOOMSDALE LONG STANDING (NEW)— 
45 Days 
Remains ten days longer in table condition than the 
main crop, Bloomsdale Reselected. 3 to 5 days 
later than Bloomsdale. Remarkable in the total 
absence of male plants. This selection possesses all 
the good qualities of the famous Bloomsdale Re¬ 
selected, from which it is a plant selection made in 
Holland, the habit of remaining longer in shipping 
condition after Bloomsdale shoots to Seed, which 
marks it as a very valuable type. Sow it and be 
convinced that it has unusual merit.
