SPINACH 
Prices on Application 
BLOOMSDALE RESELECTED DARK GREEN.— Sometimes 
called Norfolk Savoy. The Landreths introduced and named this 
general type in 1826. Since then it has become a standard and now 
appears in nearly all catalogs in the United States and is equally '.veil 
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, bloated 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 Bloomsdale 
Long Standing, Juliana, or Nobel, because it shoots early to seed. 
Spinach, when 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.

Bloomsdale Reselected Spinach 
BLOOMSDALE LONG STANDING.— Remains about ten days 
longer in table condition than the main crop, Bloomsdale Re- 
selected, and is about 5 days later. Remarkable in the total absence 
of male plants. This selection possesses all the good qualities of the 
famous Bloomsdale 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. 12c per lb. 
GIANT NOBEL or GAUDRY. —An erect, strong growing, long¬ 
standing sort of the Flanders type. Leaves unusually broad, firm, and 
thick. Arrow shaped with a rounded top. Light green to yellowish 
green in color, smooth, and the largest of any Spinach. The most 
desirable of all the Long Standing types for those who do not favor 
a savoy leaf. Slow to shoot to seed, a most decided acquisition.
