PLANT LANDRETHS’ CROWN PICKED CERTIFIED TOMATO SEED 
Blight Resistant or Virginia Blight Resistant 
Savoy—46 Days 
Developed in 1921 by the Virginia Truck Experi¬ 
mental Station, Norfolk, Virginia, after many years 
of careful breeding and selecting. It is of the 
Bloomsdale type but is absolutely blight resistant. 
It is not adapted to Spring planting as it shoots to 
seed quickly at that time. 
Giant Nobel or Gaudry—66 Days 
An erect, strong growing, long standing sort of the 
Flanders type. Leaves unusually broad, firm, and 
thick. Arrow shaped with a rounded top. Light 
green to yellowish green in color, smooth, and the 
largest of any Spinach. The most desirable of all 
the Long Standing types for those who do not favor 
a savoy leaf. Slow to shoot to seed, a most decided 
acquisition. 
King of Denmark Spinach—60 Days 
An intermediate, long-standing, heat resistant 
variety, hardy, vigorous grower, spreading in habit, 
inclined to grow flat on the ground, leaves large, 
long, broad, somewhat savoyed, with long stems. 
Long Seasons—60 Days 
More nearly resembles the Bloomsdale Reselected 
than any other variety, but much later and not so 
large. Might be termed spring stock of Bloomsdale 
Reselected. It is very slow to shoot to seed. Leaves 
dark, black-blue green in color, crumpled, savoyed 
thick, succulent and tender. 
Long Standing Round Seeded Thick Leaved— 
60 Days 
Plants very large and late. Leaves broad, arrow- 
shaped to round, smooth, dark green. Used more by 
market gardeners or truckers than kitchen gardeners. 
New Zealand—70 Days 
Absolutely distinct in form, color and habit from 
other Spinach—it is not a Spinach, though used 
as a Spinach. Foliage thick, succulent, dark green, 
never sunburns, a true heat resistant, leaves covered 
with water globules like an ice-plant. Later to 
mature for table than Spinach of usual form, but 
remaining in edible condition ten times as long. 
Plants remain in edible condition from July until 
Bloomsdale Long Standing 
killed by frost. A sort to “cut and come again,” 
as it is most productive, continuously over a period 
of 150 days. The plants spread five times as wide 
and rise to three times the height of ordinary Spinach, 
covering the ground. Slow to germinate. Exces¬ 
sive heat does not check its growth. Listed by Lan- 
dreth first in their 1832 Catalogue. It originated 
in New Zealand as the name implies, and was 
carried to England by Sir Joseph Banks. A most 
desirable vegetable. Rows should never be less than 
2 feet apart. Plants should be thinned 4 to 5 
inches apart. 
Princess Juliana—60 Days 
A very choice, long-standing, dark, glossy, metallic 
green, midseason variety, somewhat resembling the 
Victoria in form of leaf and habit of growth, but is 
a larger variety. It grows very close to the ground 
and produces an abundance of thick, crumpled leaves 
which retain their crisp, green appearance a long 
time. This makes it one of the most popular 
varieties for the market gardener. The originator 
of this variety for several years removed all the 
excessive male plants which are the quick shooting 
ones, until there are practically none of them left. 
This makes the variety a very uniform even crop. 
Victoria—60 Days 
This most excellent midsummer 
variety produces large, thick, very 
dark, tender leaves. The leaves 
vary in shape, some are rounded at 
the ends, while others are broad ar¬ 
row shaped. The plants are large 
and compact. This sort is as early 
as many but remains edible much 
longer than most kinds.
