SPINACH 
A packet of seed will sow 25 lo 30 feet of row; x /i lb. 200 ft.; 20 lbs. of seed an acre. 
Spinach runs to seed quickly in hot weather, so the seed should be sown 
early in the spring or late in the summer in order to avoid having the crop 
mature in July or August. If sown about August 1st, spinach will grow 
large and can be used from the first of September until the ground freezes. 
SPECIAL SUMMER SAVOY. # Lo "| standing, sow 
- for Summer Cutting. 
This is the most uniform stock of “Savoy” spinach grown. It is a re¬ 
markably fine strain of Long Standing Bloomsdale Savoy and we 
recommend it especially for growers who desire to cut during July and 
August. In general appearance it resembles a fine strain of Long 
Standing Bloomsdale except that it has a slightly smaller frame, is a 
trifle darker green and the leaves generally are more “savoyed” and 
stands better in hot weather. 
For commercial as well as home gardens this variety has no equal in 
this class of spinach.

NOBEL GIANT LEAVED. This spinach has proved a remarkably fine 
variety both for home and market. It is very early and is so large and 
grows so rapidly that it can be cut before most other kinds are ready. 
It will stand a long time without bolting to seed, even if the weather 
becomes hot and dry. 
The leaves are nearly twice as large as the old kinds, handsome, 
medium dark green, quite thick, and smoother than the Savoy types.

PRINCESS JULIANA. This spinach grows close to the ground and has 
thick well-crumpled dark green leaves Does not run to seed as quickly 
as many other varieties and retains its crispness a remarkably long time 
after cutting

Spinach may be sown very early in the spring. 11 will be ready for use 
in four or five weeks after sowing. For fall use sow August 1st, and to 
winter over sow about September 1st in this latitude, and later further 
south. 
Special Summer Savoy— Best for Summer Culture- 
LONG STANDING BLOOMSDALE. Thi * is f « 
__ wonderful 
improvement over the old Norfolk Savoy or Bloomsdale spinach. It 
not only grows larger but stands ten days to two weeks longer without 
bolting to seed. The leaves are very large, thick and heavy, deep green 
in color, very much crumpled and of the best quality. 
Market gardeners have found this one of the most profitable varieties 
for market on account of its heavy yield and handsome appearance. 
Home gardeners find this kind a most satisfactory spinach to grow. You 
can cut fine spinach over a period of several weeks from one sowing.

VIKING (NEW.) Early—Large—Dark Green—Long Stand- 
__ing. The plant resembles Nobel Giant Leaf in growth, 
the leaves growing very large, more crumpled, darker green, quite 
tender and of excellent quality. This spinach grows so fast that it is 
ready before most other kinds. It is so large that in fact, you can start 
to cut it when it’s only about two-thirds grown. When fully grown it 
attains an enormous size but still retains its fine tender quality. This 
is a long standing variety and is finding an important place in both 
home and commercial gardens. 
Try some Viking spinach this year, we are sure you will like it.

KING OF DENMARK. The Longest Standing Kind. Named and 
introduced by us in 1920. This spinach not only grows fast and pro¬ 
duces a large yield, but it stands longer without bolting to seed than any 
other variety. The leaves are broad, heavy, dark green and somewhat 
blistered. The remarkable long standing ability and the fine quality of 
King of Denmark make it one of the best varieties for the home as well 
as the commercial garden.

Blight Resistant Savoy — Photo taken in October. 
Viking Spinach 
BLIGHT-RESISTANT SAVOY. ForFa " sowing. This 
- strain of Norfolk or 
Bloomsdale Savoy is quite resistant to the blight or “yellows” which 
is destructive in some localities. A valuable variety in localities where 
blight injures fall spinach. 
Although no spinach of this class will stand a long time when sown 
in the spring, our strain stands without bolting three or four days longer 
than most stocks.

OLD DOMINION. A Longer Standing Blight Resistant. This new 
spinach is a cross between Blight Besistant Savoy and King of Den¬ 
mark. It has the large dark green crumpled leaf of the Savoy and 
stands up longer than other Blight Besistant kinds. This variety yields 
well and should be very valuable for spring sowing in places where 
spinach blights.

New Zealand Spinach 
Although this is not a true spinach. It has become one of the most 
popular summer “greens.” The leaves resemble spinach leaves and are 
produced in abundance on stems a foot or more in length. It will grow 
during hot dry weather when other spinach would fail entirely. A few 
feet of row in the garden will furnish nice “greens” all summer. This seed 
is slow to germinate and should be soaked 24 hours before planting.
