SPINACH—Continued 
Blight Resistant or Virginia Blight Resistant 
Savoy—46 Days 
Developed in 1921 by the Virginia Truck Experi¬ 
mental Station, Norfolk, Virginia, after many years 
of careful breeding and selecting. It is of the 
Bloomsdale type. Very resistant to mosaic diseases, 
yellows or blight. It is not adapted to Spring 
planting as it shoots to seed quickly at that time. 
Giant Nobel or Gaudry—50 Days 
An erect, strong growing, long standing sort of the 
Flanders type. Leaves large, unusually broad, 
firm, and thick. Arrow shaped with a rounded top. 
Light green to yellowish green in color, smooth, and 
the largest of any Spinach. The most desirable of 
all the Long Standing types for those who do not 
favor a savoy leaf. Slow to shoot or bolt to seed, 
a most decided acquisition. 
King of Denmark—50 Days 
An intermediate, long-standing, heat resistant 
variety, hardy, vigorous grower, spreading in habit, 
inclined to grow flat on the ground, leaves large, 
long, broad, somewhat savoyed, with long stems. 
Long Standing Round Seeded Thick Leaved— 
60 Days 
Plants very large and late. Leaves broad, arrow- 
shaped to round, smooth, dark green. Used more by 
market gardeners or truckers than kitchen gardeners. 
New Zealand—70 Days 
Absolutely distinct in form, color and habit from 
other Spinach—it is not a Spinach, though used 
as a Spinach. Foliage thick, succulent, dark green, 
never sunburns, a true heat resistant, leaves covered 
with water globules like an ice-plant. Later to 
mature for table than Spinach of usual form, but 
remaining in edible condition ten times as long. 
Plants remain in edible condition from July until 
killed by frost. A sort to “cut and come again/’ 
as it is most productive, continuously over a period 
of 150 days. The plants spread five times as wide 
and rise to three times the height of ordinary 
Spinach, covering the ground. Slow to germinate. 
Excessive heat does not check its growth. Listed by 
Landreth first in our 1832 Catalogue. It originated 
Bloomsdale Long Standing 
in New Zealand as the name implies, and was carried 
to England by Sir Joseph Banks. A most desirable 
vegetable. Rows should never be less than 2 feet 
apart. Plants should be thinned 4 to 5 inches apart. 
Old Dominion Blight Resistant—45 Days 
A long standing, blight resistant, savoy Spinach; 
a cross between Virginia Savoy and King of Den¬ 
mark. Has the blight resistant qualities of Virginia 
Savoy and the Long Standing qualities of King of 
Denmark to certain extent. Matures about the 
same time as Bloomsdale Dark Green, leaves 
savoyed, dark green, fairly large, borne on long 
stems, has a tendency to become rather flat under 
hot weather conditions and drought. Can be sown 
early in August with very good results, while Virginia 
Savoy sown at the same time sometimes bolts. It 
is hardy, highly recommended for late Fall sowings to 
Winter over. 
Princess Juliana—50 Days 
An improvement on Long Seasons and Victoria, 
therefore we have discarded both of them. A very 
choice, long-standing, dark, glossy, metallic green, 
midseason variety, resembling the Long Season in 
form of leaf and habit of growth, but is a large: 
variety. It grows very close to the 
ground and produces an abundance 
of thick, crumpled leaves which 
retain their crisp, green appearance 
a long time. This makes it one of 
the most popular varieties for the 
market gardener. The originator of 
this variety for several years re¬ 
moved all the excessive male plants 
which are the quick shooting ones, 
until there are practically none of 
them left. This makes the variety 
a very uniform even cropper.
