Quantity Prices—Not Prepaid—See Yellow Price List Enclosed 
CULTURE—One ounce to 60 feet of drill. For an early summer 
crop, sow early in the spring, in drills, 1 foot apart, and thin out to 
2 inches in the row. For winter and early spring crop, sow either 
broadcast or in drills about the first of September to December 16. 
FOR FIELDS—-Sow broadcast 12 to 16 pounds to acre, ready in 
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. 
Pkt., 5c; 1 oz., 10c; Ya lb., 20c; Yz lb., 25c; 1 lb., 40c; 5 lbs., $1.25 
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 in spring. 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. 
Pkt., 5c; 1 oz., 10c; Ya lb., 20c; Yz lb., 25c; 1 lb., 40c; 5 lbs., $1.25 
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. 
Pkt., 5c; 1 oz., 10c; Ya lb., 20c; Yz lb., 25c; 1 lb., 40c; 5 lbs., $1.25 
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. 
Pkt., 5c; 1 oz., 10c; Ya lb., 20c; Yz lb., 25c; 1 lb., 40c; 5 lbs., $1.25 
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. 
Pkt., 5c; 1 oz., 10c; Ya lb., 25c; Yz lb., 35c; 1 lb., 60c; 5 lbs., $2.50 
360— PRESTO (40 days)—A new variety of the Savoy leaved 
type, prickly seeded, earliest and quickest growing sort of all 
the Savoy leaved types. Much hardier and will stand cold and 
unfavorable weather in cases where early round seeded types 
will decay and wilt. Does well for either Fall or Spring sowing. 
Pkt., 10c; oz., 15c; Ya lb., 25c; Yz lb., 35c; 1 lb., 45c; 5 lbs., $1.75

HOTKAPS 
PROTECT PLANTS 
FROM FROST. 
WIND, RAIN, 
AND 
INSECTS 
Each HOTKAP is a small hothouse, to speed development as well as 
protect. HOTKAPS mean stronger, healthier plants, with larger and 
earlier yields—and premium prices result! Crops protected with HOT¬ 
KAPS get to market 2 to 3 weeks earlier, sometimes more. Their slight 
cost is returned many times in higher prices. 
HOTKAPS are patented wax paper cones, placed over the seed or 
plant. They maintain perfect mulch around each plant, by preventing 
drying and crusting of the ground. They are easy to set out. 
HOTKAPS ARE INEXPENSIVE 
Germaco HOTKAPS come in rolls of 1,000 each, and in smaller special 
trial or garden packages. For field use, use the steel HOTKAP setter.
