SPINACH 
Reselected Savoy 
Culture Sow the seed in good, rich ground free from acid, 1 inch deep, 
in rows a foot apart. The fast bolting or quick growing types may be sown 
very early in the spring or from August 15 until frost. The slow bolting 
types may be sown during the season when it is impractical to sow the 
early types. An ounce will sow 100 feet; 8 to 10 pounds per acre in drills. 
(If broadcast, sow 12 to 15 pounds per acre.) Matures in from 45 to 55 days. 
BLOOMSDALE LONG STANDING SAVOY The most outstanding im¬ 
provement in spinach in years. It resembles the old Savoy, but 
is more compact in growth and has a more intensely dark green 
color. Grows a little slower than Reselected Savoy, but will 
stand heat better. In fact, it will stay in prime condition for 
cutting two weeks longer than most varieties. Most of our 
customers who grow a great deal of spinach have now used this 
variety for several seasons and are much pleased with it. Oz., 
5c; l /\ lb., 10c; lb., 25c; 100 lbs., $20.00. 
RESELECTED SAVOY (Bloomsdale) A distinct improve¬ 
ment over the old standard Bloomsdale Savoy, in that 
it is very early and of better color. The leaves are 
beautifully crumpled and blistered and free from 
pointed leaves. This variety is also used very largely 
for fall sowing. Oz., 5c; lb., 10c; lb., 25c; 100 lbs., $20. 
BLIGHT RESISTANT SAVOY This is the strain developed 
by the Virginia Experiment Station for resistance to 
“yellows”, blight, or mosaic. It is also resistant to 
low temperatures. It is a pure Savoy type, but will 
run to seed quickly in warm weather. For this reason 
it is used almost altogether for fall sowing. Oz., 5c; 
>4 lb., 10c; lb., 30c; 100 lbs., $25.00. 
Bloomsdale Long Standing Savoy 
NOBEL GIANT LEAVED A new variety of the Viroflay type, but superior. Also called Gaudry Long Stand¬ 
ing. It is the best of the so-called smooth-leaved types. The leaves are very thick, rather smooth, rounded, 
and of great size. Although a very quick grower, it stands well before going to seed. Oz., 5c; % lb., 10c; 
lb., 25c; 100 lbs., $20.00. 
Nobel Giant Leaved 
EXTRA DARK GREEN BLOOMSDALE A better and darker 
green strain of Reselected Savoy or Bloomsdale, its darker 
color making it appear fresh longer after cutting. It is just 
as early as the old Savoy Leaf, but will stand longer in 
prime condition. Oz., 5c; % lb., 10c; lb., 25c; 100 lbs., $20.00. 
ROUND THICK LEAF An old standard variety, still grown in some 
localities. We recommend the use of Nobel Giant Leaved, which 
is a far better spinach in every way. Oz., 5c; Ya lb., 10c; lb., 25c; 
100 lbs., $20.00. 
MONSTROUS VIROFLAY Leaves thick, broad and nearly round. This 
variety is suitable for either fall or spring sowing. It is one of the 
older varieties, of the Round Thick Leaf type, and not equal to 
Nobel. Oz., 5c; Ya lb., 10c; lb., 25c; 100 lbs., $20.00.
