is northern grown by specialists and sold at very 
close prices. Orders booked in advance are usually

to Bloomsdale, with a broad and larger leaf, less 
curled, but will stand longer before bolting to 
seed.

round. Dark color. One of the older types of 
Spinach on the thick leaf order.

a large, beautiful crumpled leaf. It has that beau¬

other sort. Good for either Spring or Fall planting.

upright, of medium size, with broad, pointed, 
dark glossy green leaves, curled and wrinkled.
