SPINACH 
Spinace (It.) 
A packet of seed will sow 25 to 30 feet of row; lb. 200 ft.; 20 lbs. of seed an acre. 
Spinach may be sown very early in the spring. It will be ready for use 
in four or five weeks after sowing. For fall use sow August 1st, and to 
winter over sow about September 1st in this latitude, and later further 
south. 
Spinach runs to seed quickly in hot weather, so the seed should be sown 
early in the spring or late in the summer in order to avoid having the crop 
mature in July or August. If sown about August 1st, spinach will grow 
large and can be used from the first of September until the ground freezes.

SPECIAL SUMMER SAVOY. V *" 8 s,andi " 8 ' with 
.___ this variety you can cut 
fine spinach over a period of several weeks with one sowing. It is the 
most uniform strain of Long Standing Bloomsdale spinach grown. It 
produces enormous crops and we highly recommend it. In general 
appearance it resembles a line strain of Long Standing Bloomsdale 
except that it has a slightly smaller frame, is a trifle darker green and 
the leaves generally are more “savoyed” and stands better in hot 
weather. 
For home gardens as well as commercial planting this variety has no 
equal in this class of spinach.

LONG STANDING BLOOMSDALE. This is a wonderful improve¬ 
ment over the old Norfolk Savoy or Bloomsdale spinach. It not only 
grows larger but stands ten days to two weeks longer without bolting to 
seed. The leaves are very large, thick and heavy, deep green in color, 
very much crumpled and of the best quality. 
Home and market gardeners have found this to be one of the most 
satisfactory varieties on account of its heavy yield and handsome 
appearance.

KING OF DENMARK. The Longest Standing Kind. Named and 
introduced by us in 1920. This spinach not only grows fast and pro¬ 
duces a large yield, but it stands longer without bolting to seed than any 
other variety. The leaves are broad, heavy, dark green and somewhat 
blistered. The remarkable long standing ability and the fine quality of 
King of Denmark make it one of the best varieties for the home as well 
as the commercial garden.

BLIGHT-RESISTANT SAVOY. Grow this variety for Fall Crops. 
This strain of Norfolk or Bloomsdale Savoy is quite resistant to the 
blight or “yellows” which is destructive in some localities. A valuable 
variety in localities where blight injures fall spinach. 
Although no spinach of this class will stand a long time when sown 
in the spring, our strain stands without bolting three or four days longer 
than most stocks.

OLD DOMINION. A Longer Standing Blight Resistant. This new 
spinach is a cross between Blight Besistant Savoy and King of Den¬ 
mark. It has the large dark green crumpled leaf of the Savoy and 
stands up longer than other Blight Resistant kinds. This variety yields 
large crops and holds up well when cut. It is a very valuable kind for 
spring sowing in places where spinach blights.

New Zealand Spinach 
Although this is not a true spinach. It has become one of the most 
popular summer “greens.” The leaves resemble spinach leaves and are 
produced in abundance on stems a foot or more in length. It will grow 
during hot dry weather when other spinach would fail entirely. A few 
feet of row in the garden will furnish nice “greens” all summer. This seed 
is slow to germinate and should be soaked 24 hours before planting.

VIKING. ! NEW ->. Early—Large—Dark Green—Long Stand- 
- - ing. The plant resembles Nobel Giant Leaf in growth. 
The leaves are very large, more crumpled, darker green, and quite 
tender and of excellent quality. This spinach grows so fast that it is 
ready before most other kinds. It is so large that in fact, you can start 
to cut it when it’s only about two-thirds grown. When fully grown it 
attains an enormous size but still retains its fine tender quality. This 
is a long standing variety and is finding an important place in both 
home and commercial gardens.

NOBEL GIANT LEAVED. This spinach has proved a remarkably fine 
variety both for home and market. It is very early and is so large and 
grows so rapidly that it can be cut before most other kinds are ready. 
It will stand a long time without bolting to seed, even if the weather 
becomes hot and dry. 
The leaves are nearly twice as large as the old kinds, handsome, 
medium dark green, quite thick, and smoother than the Savoy types.
