Field View of Bloomsdale Reselected Dark Green 
Blight Resistant or Virginia Blight Resistant 
Savoy—46 Days. Developed in 1921 by the 
Virginia Truck Experimental Station, Norfolk, 
Virginia, after many years of careful breeding and 
selecting. It is of the Bloomsdale type. Very re¬ 
sistant to mosaic diseases, yellows or blight. It is not 
adapted to Spring planting as it shoots to seed 
quickly at that time. Pkt. 6 c i lb. 16c lb. 40c 
BLOOMSDALE LONG STANDING—46 Days. 
Remains about 8 to 14 days longer in table condition 
than the main crop, Bloomsdale Reselected, is larger 
and about 5 days later. Remarkable in the almost 
total absence of male plants. This selection pos¬ 
sesses all the good qualities of the famous Blooms¬ 
dale Reselected, from which it is a plant selection 
made in Holland, the habit of remaining longer in 
shipping condition after Bloomsdale shoots to Seed, 
which marks it as a very valuable type. Sow it and 
be convinced that it has unusual merit. Is fast 
gaining supremacy over all other Spinach.

BLOOMSDALE RESELECTED DARK GREEN 
—40 Days. Sometimes called Norfolk Savoy. The 
I^andreths introduced and named this general type 
in 1826. Since then it has become a standard and 
now appears in all catalogs in the United States and 
is equally w'ell known in Europe. No Spinach is so 
well known as.this variety and we are perfectly safe 
in saying that five times as much of this is sold and 
planted in the United States, as any other variety. 
As an Autumn sort it is superior to all others, but 
in Spring it is inclined to shoot early. The leaves 
are twisted, blistered or savoyed, and a glossy dark 
green, giving them an elasticity adapting them for 
transportion over long distances and at the same 
time giving the crop large measuring qualities. 
Edible in 40 to 55 days from planting. This Seed 
may be sown in the Autumn or as early in the 
Spring as the condition of the ground will permit. 
We advise by all means to plant in the Autumn the 
Bloomsdale Reselected Dark Green Spinach as it is 
by far the best of all the Autumn varieties. It is, 
however, not as good for Spring planting as Blooms¬ 
dale Long Standing Juliana, or Nobel, because it 
bolts or shoots early to seed. Spinach, wUen planted 
south of New York City, stands out all Winter and 
during the various open spells throughout the 
Winter can be cut and sent to market as a green 
vegetable; very valuable in this respect.
