Bloomsdale Savoy, Dark Green _-___$0.25 $2.25 $20.00 
Plant very early, hardy, vigorous and rapid growing ; has tendency 
to go quickly to seed in hot weather; leaves medium large, distinctly 
blistered, “savoyed” and crumpled ; thick in texture; rich, deep, med¬ 
ium-dark, glossy, green. For late fall or early spring sowing. 
Long Standing Savoy _ .28 2.50 22.50 
About 3 to 5 days later than Bloomsdale, but will stand two weeks 
longer before bolting to seed. Plants very uniform ; leaves medium 
large, intensely blistered or savoyed and crumpled, very thick in 
texture and rich, deep, dark glossy green. An excellent all season 
spinach. 
Virginia Blight Resistant Savoy _ .28 2.50 22.50 
Developed at the Virginia Experiment Station. The fastest growing 
of the savoy types of spinach; very similar to Bloomsdale Savoy; 
should only be used for late fall in our section as it is the quickest 
bolting of all savoy types in warm weather. 
Haarlem Market (Prickly Seeded Savoy) _ .28 2.50 22.50 
This variety is earlier, juicker growing and hardier than Bloomsdale 
Savoy as well as being remarkably resistant to blight. Being hardier 
than round seeded spinaches, it will stand cold and unfavorable 
weather. 
King of Denmark _ .28 2.50 22.50 
Medium early ; remarkably long standing and heat resistant sort. 
Plant hardy, vigorous and rapid in growth ; leaves large, long, mod¬ 
erately broad and tapered, thick and firm texture; dark dull green 
in color; slightly crumpled and blistered. A fine summer spinach. 
Nobel Giant Thick Leaved _ .28 2.50 22.50 
By far the best of the so-called “smooth-leaved” sorts. It produces a 
large mass of rather smooth, very thick, rounded leaves, of enormous 
size, and although it is a very quick grower, it stands very long be¬ 
fore bolting. Bright green color. 
Princess Juliana _ .28 2.50 22.50 
Midseason. Plant very hardy and vigorous; forms a dense, com¬ 
pact rosette with short petioles; leaves large, rounded, thick texture, 
markedly blistered or savoyed and crumpled ; very rich, dark, glossy, 
metallic green. An excellent long standing sort. 
New Zealand _ .40 3.75 35.00 
Entirely distinct from the true Spinach ; plant tall and spreading 
with numerous side shoots; leaves medium green, rather small and 
pointed ; grows well in hot weather and under adverse conditions. 
Spinach Seed Treatment 
Growers often have difficulty in securing a good stand of spinach. This is often 
caused by damping-off of the young plants and may be controlled by treating the 
seed with Red Copper Oxide Dust before planting. Use this dust at the rate of % 
pound to a bushel of seed (approximately 50 pounds). 
However this treatment will not prevent young spinach plants from burning 
off during the hot summer months.
