SPINACH 
Culture Sow the seed in good, rich ground free from acid, 1 inch deep, in rows a foot apart. The fast bolting or. quick 
growing types may be sown very early in the spring or from August 15 until frost. The slow bolting types may be sown during 
the season when it is impractical to sow the early types. An ounce will sow 100 feet; 8 to 10 pounds per acre in drills. (It 
broadcast, sow 12 to 15 pounds per acre). Matures in from 45 to 55 days. 
SUMMER SAVOY A new and improved strain of Long 
Standing Bloomsdale or Savoy, noted for its darker color. 
It stands 3 or 4 days longer without bolting to seed, and 
is remarkably uniform. In appearance similar to Long 
Standing Bloomsdale. Oz., 5c; lb., 10c; lb., 30c: 
100 lbs., $25.00. 
HARLEM MARKET As compared with Reselected Blooms 
dale Savoy, Harlem Market is earlier, quicker growing, 
hardier, and remarkably resistant to blight. It is the 
earliest quickest growing sort, and resembles Reselected 
Bloomsdale Savoy in appearance. It is very hardy and 
will stand cold and unfavorable weather in cases where 
round-seeded spinaches will rot and wilt. It grows so 
quickly that it can be cut and off the ground before other 
sorts. Prickly seeded. We recommend it for use at those 
seasons when growers would ordinarily use Reselectecl 
Bloomsdale or Blight Resistant Savoy. Oz., 5c; Rj lb.. 
10c; lb., 35c; 100 lbs., $30.00. 
BLOOMSDALE LONG STANDING SAVOY Resembles the old Savoy, but is more compact in growth and has 
a more intensely dark green color. Grows a little slower than Reselected Savoy, but will stand heat better. 
In fact, it will stay in prime condition for cutting two weeks longer than most varieties. Oz., 5c; j4 lb., 10c; 
lb, 30c; 100 lbs, $25.00. 
EXTRA DARK GREEN BLOOMSDALE A better and darker green strain of Reselected Savoy or Bloomsdale, 
its darker color making it appear fresh longer after cutting. It is just as early as the old Savoy Leaf, but will 
stand longer in prime condition. Oz, 5c; Rj lb, 10c; lb, 25c; 100 lbs, $20.00. 
RESELECTED SAVOY (Bloomsdale) A distinct improvement over the old standard Bloomsdale Savoy, in that 
it is very early and of better color. The leaves are beautifully crumpled and blistered and free from pointed 
leaves. This variety is also used very largely for fal sowing. Oz, 5c; lb-, 10c; lb, 25c; 100 lbs, $20.00. 
OLD DOMINION A new blight resistant 
sort, a cross between Blight Resistant 
Savoy and King of Denmark, by the 
Virginia Experiment Station. The 
leaves are a dark bluish green deeply 
bloated, thick and well rounded. Sup¬ 
erior to Blight Resistant Savoy in that 
it is slow to seed. Stands shipping well. 
Is best adapted to sowing in late fall 
for an early spring crop; not recom¬ 
mended for a fall or mid-winter crop, 
however, as it is a slow grower. Oz, 
5c; 14 lb.. 10c; lb, 30c; 100 lbs, $25. 
BLIGHT RESISTANT SAVOY This is the strain 
developed by the Virginia Experiment Station 
for resistance to “yellows”, blight, or mosaic. 
It is also resistant to low temperatures. It 
is a pure Savoy type, but will run to seed 
quickly in warm weather. For this reason 
it is used almost altogether for fall sowing. 
Oz„ 5c; 14 lb., 10c; lb., 30c; 100 lbs, $25.00.
