broadcast or in drills about the first of September to December 16.

8 weeks, produces enormously and is becoming: one of the South’s 
best quick money crops. Write for prices in quantities. 
359-DARK GREEN BLOOMSDALE (Savoy Leaved) (50 Days)— 
An improvement over Reselected Bloomsdale in that it is darker 
green, more crumpled and blistered, and is almost as early as 
the Reselected Bloomsdale, maturing only about 2 or 3 days later. 
Due to the reduced proportion of early bolting male plants, it is 
slower in running to seed than Reselected Bloomsdale.

354—RESELECTED BLOOMSDALE OR SAVOY LEAVED (45 
Days)—Leaves well rounded, much crumpled and blistered, 
glossy, and of a deep green color. Matures early, but bolts to 
seed rather quickly. Recommended for planting in the fall for 
early spring use. It is used extensively by both market and 
home gardeners, and is of high quality.

358— LONG STANDING BLOOMSDALE (Savoy Leaved) (50 
Days)—Very longstanding. Leaves are intensely crumpled and 
blistered, glossy, of a dark green color, and well rounded. 
Reaches marketable size a little later than the Reselected and 
the Dark Green Bloomsdale, but will remain in good condition 
from 8 to 12 days longer, due to the almost total absence of 
early shooting male plants. Developed from a single plant selec¬ 
tion by Zwaan and Van Der Molen of Holland.

356— BLIGHT RESISTANT BLOOMSDALE (45 Days) — The 
true Virginia Savoy strain, very resistant to the Mosaic disease, 
popularly known as “yellows” or “blight.” Matures earlier 
than any other Savoy Leaved Spinach, is well crumpled, and 
runs very uniform. Color, dark green. Bolts to seed very early 
and is, on this account, decidedly not a “hot weather” spinach. 
Should not be planted until after the middle of August in the 
vicinity of Memphis, although in some sections very good re¬ 
sults are obtained with very early spring sowings.

361—NEW ZEALAND (55 Days)—Grows 1% feet high and, if 
transplanted, 2 or 3 feet; will produce an abundant crop in the 
hot weather, when the ordinary spinach cannot be had.

357— GIANT THICK LEAVED (NOBEL) (Round Seeded) (43 
Days)— Decidedly the best of the round seeded thick leaved 
group. Because of the enormous yield, long standing character, 
and the deep green color and smooth character of the leaves, 
this is highly recommended for canning as well as for home and 
market garden. Leaves very large, thick, broad arrow-shaped 
with rounded tip.
