BLOOMSDALE SAVOY RESELECTED (Round Seeded) SALLY 
The leading spinach. Used in tremendous volume. Early, and one of the most valuable for 
home and market gardeners, shippers, and canners. Recommended for fall and spring 
planting. 
PLANTS —10 to 11 inches high, with a spread of 14 inches. Vigorous, rapid grower, 
upright, and compact. 
LEAVES —Medium large, beautifully savoyed and crumpled, rounded, very thick, rich 
deep glossy green, of excellent quality. 
BLOOMSDALE DARK GREEN (Round Seeded) SOUTH 
Similar to Bloomsdale Savoy but even darker green in color. 
VIRGINIA SAVOY or BLOOMSDALE BLIGHT RESISTANT (Round Seeded) 
SAVER 
Developed by the Virginia Truck Experiment Station for blight resistance by crossing 
Manchuria and Bloomsdale. Very valuable for fall planting when blight is most severe. 
The earliest curled spinach and closely resembles Bloomsdale Savoy. 
PLANTS —Exceptionally rapid grower, similar to the regular Savoy. 
LEAVES —Also similar to Bloomsdale. 
BLOOMSDALE LONG STANDING (Round Seeded) SABAT 
A decided improvement over the old Bloomsdale Savoy for late spring or summer crop. 
A few days later, but will stand from 10 to 14 days longer without bolting seeders. 
PLANTS —8 to 9 inches tall, with a spread of 15 inches. Vigorous grower. 
LEAVES —Medium large, heavily savoyed and crumpled, rounded tip, very thick and 
tender, rich deep glossy green, of excellent quality.

grower, and develops upright.

green, thick, and of good quality.
