BLOOMSDALE RESELECTED DARK GREEN 
—40 Days 
Sometimes called Norfolk Savoy. The Landrcths in¬ 
troduced and named this general type in 1826. Since 
then it has become a standard and now appears in 
all catalogs in the United States and is equally 
well known in Europe. No Spinach is so well 
known as this variet}' and we are perfectly safe 
in saying that five times as much of this is sold 
and planted in the United States, as any other 
variety. As an Autumn sort it is superior to all 
others, but in Spring it is inclined to shoot early. 
The leaves are twisted, blistered or savoyed, and 
a glossy dark green, giving them an elasticity 
adapting them for transportion over long distances 
and at the same time giving the crop large measuring 
qualities. Edible in 40 to 55 days from planting. 
This Seed may be sown in the Autumn or as early in 
the Spring as the condition of the ground will permit. 
We advise by all means to plant in the Autumn the 
Bloomsdale Reselected Dark Green Spinach as it is 
by far the best of all the Autumn varieties. It is, 
however, not as good for Spring planting as Blooms¬ 
dale Long Standing, Juliana, or Nobel, because it 
bolts or shoots early to seed. Spinach, when planted 
south of New York City, stands out all Winter and 
during the various open spells throughout the 
Winter can be cut and sent to market as a green 
vegetable; very valuable in this respect. 
BLOOMSDALE LONG STANDING—45 Days 
Remains about 8 to 14 days longer in table condition 
than the main crop, Bloomsdale Reselected, is larger 
and about 5 days later. Remarkable in the almost 
total absence of male plants. This selection pos¬ 
sesses all the good qualities of the famous Blooms¬ 
dale Reselected, from which it is a plant selection 
made in Holland, the habit of remaining longer in 
shipping condition after Bloomsdale shoots to Seed, 
which marks it as a very valuable type. Sow it and 
be convinced that it has unusual merit.
