The standard spinach for Southern market gardeners. The leaves 
are of the darkest green, and curled to perfection, retaining their 
peculiar crispness long after being cut and packed. As we are among 
the largest growers of spinach seed in the United States, we can, and 
invariably do, offer it at as low a price as is consistent with our 
quality. Oz. 5 cts., 54 lb. 15 cts., lb. 35 cts., 5 lbs. $1.35. Postpaid. 
Nobel-Giant Leaved improved strain of Viroflay Spinach

the early varieties with the long standing quality of varieties like King of 
Denmark and Juliana, and produces the largest plants of any smooth leaf 
variety yet introduced. The medium green leaves are rounded at the tip, 
slightly crumpled, but not savoyed, and are especially succulent and tender. 
On account of its splendid quality and productiveness, it is recommended 
for home gardens, local market, and canners. Oz. 5 cts., 54 lb. 15 cts.,

TAITS VIRGINIA YELLOWS RESISTANT 
SAVOY 
For many years growers of spinach around Norfolk have lost considerable 
money each season because of a disease in spinach commonly called “Spinach 
Blight,” which often destroys whole crops. Several years ago the Virginia 
Truck Experiment Station at Norfolk began experiments to get rid of this 
disease, and after six years of hard work succeeded, by hybridization, in breed¬ 
ing a spinach that was practically “Blight Resistant,” and which we have named 
Virginia Savoy. This variety should be used in preference to ordinary Blooms¬ 
dale Savoy in sections where “blight” is prevalent. Oz. 5 cts., 54 lb. 15 cts., lb. 
35 cts., 5 lbs. $1.35. Postpaid.

Virginia Savoy Spinach. 
"Mow tall spreading plant with numerous side shoots, and 
new /iCatanu although called “Spinach,” is not botanically related 
to the Spinach Family, but is a good substitute. It grows vigorously dur¬ 
ing warm weather, producing an astonishing amount of foliage, new leaves 
promptly taking the place of those that are cut. It will not stand frost, 
and the seed should be soaked over night before planting. Pkt. 5 cts., oz. 
10 cts., 54 lb. 25 cts., lb. 65 cts., 5 lbs. $2.75. Postpaid. 
Old Dominion Spinach. 
OLD DOMINION YELLOWS RESISTANT 
LATE SEEDING SAVOY 
A late seeding hybrid Spinach developed at the Virginia Truck 
Experiment Station at Norfolk by crossing Virginia Savoy with King 
of Denmark. It possesses the blight-resistance of Virginia Savoy, and 
the late-seeding characteristic of King of Denmark. The foliage is 
dark bluish green, and evenly savoyed except at leaf tips. The 
growth is compact and flatter than that of Virginia Savoy, and it is 
two weeks later in shooting to seed. It should be sown only in the 
late fall or early spring for spring crop in areas where spinach 
“blight” is prevalent. As it makes a slower growth in the fall than 
does the Virginia Savoy, it is not recommended for the fall crop.
