Bloomsdale Savoy, Dark Green _____$0.25 $2.25 $20.00 
Plant very early, hardy, vigorous and rapid growing ; has tendency 
to go quickly to seed in hot weather; leaves medium large, distinctly 
blistered, “savoyed” and crumpled ; thick in texture; rich, deep, med¬ 
ium-dark, glossy, green. For late fall or early spring sowing. 
Long Standing Savoy _ .28 2.50 22.50 
About 3 to 5 days later than Bloomsdale, but will stand two weeks 
longer before bolting to seed. Plants very uniform ; leaves medium 
large, intensely blistered or savoyed and crumpled, very thick in 
texture and rich, deep, dark glossy green. An excellent all season 
spinach. 
Blight Resistant Savoy _ .28 2.50 22.50 
Developed at the Virginia Experiment Station. The fastest growing 
of the savoy types of spinach; very similar to Bloomsdale Savoy; 
should only be used for late fall in Our section as it is the quickest 
bolting of all savoy types in warm weather. 
King of Denmark _■_ .28 2.50 22.50 
Medium early ; remarkably long standing and heat resistant sort. 
Plant hardy, vigorous and rapid in growth ; leaves large, long, mod¬ 
erately broad and tapered, thick and firm texture; dark dull green 
in color; slightly crumpled and blistered. A fine summer spinach. 
Nobel Giant Thick Leaved _ .28 2.50 22.50 
By far the best of the so-called “smooth-leaved” sorts. It produces a 
large mass of rather smooth, very thick, rounded leaves, of enormous 
size, and although it is a very quick grower, it stands very long be¬ 
fore bolting. Bright green color. 
Princess Juliana _ .28 2.50 22.50 
Midseason. Plant very hardy and vigorous; forms a dense, com¬ 
pact rosette with short petioles; leaves large, rounded, thick texture, 
markedly blistered or savoyed and crumpled ; very rich, dark, glossy, 
metallic green. An excellent long standing sort. 
Victoria _ .28 2.50 22.50 
Plant hardy, but of slow growth ; makes a dense, flat rosette. Leaves 
medium in size ; broad and somewhat pointed ; thick, firm and smooth 
in texture; distinctly savoyed, especially at the base of the leaf; 
rich, deep, very dark glossy green. Fine for hot weather and is ex¬ 
ceedingly slow to bolt to seed. 
New Zealand _ .40 3.75 35.00 
Entirely distinct from the true Spinach ; plant tall and spreading 
with numerous side shoots; leaves medium green, rather small and 
pointed ; grows well in hot weather and under adverse conditions. 
Spinach Seed Treatment 
Growers often have difficulty in securing a good stand of spinach. This is often 
caused by damping-off of the young plants and may be controlled by treating the 
seed with Red Copper Oxide Dust before planting. Use this dust at the rate of % 
pound to a bushel of seed (approximately 50 pounds). 
However this treatment will not prevent young spinach plants from burning 
off during the hot summer months.
