KING OF DENMARK (4G days)—A fine long season spinach, remaining 
longer than most varieties before bolting to seed. Plant vigorous and 
spreading: leaves large, rounded, fairly crumpled and blistered; dark 
green in color. Fine for spring seeding. 
LARGE VIROFLAY (45 days)—For either spring or fall sowing. Plant of 
upright growth; leaves are very large, broad, thick and arrow-shaped, 
dark green in color, with a 4-inch petiole. Desirable for canning because of 
its clean, upright leaves. 
NEW ZEALAND (70 days)—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. 
PRINCESS JULIANA (47 days)—An exceptionally fine type of Long 
Standing Spinach. Plant a dense compact rosette with very short petioles; 
leaves are large, rounded, thick in texture, much blistered and crumpled, 
very dark green in color. 
VICTORIA (48 days)—Makes a dense, flat rosette with very short petioles. 
Leaves very large, thick and much wrinkled, blunt or rounded, and dark 
green in color. Stands hot weather well and is exceedingly slow to shoot 
to seed. 
VIRGINIA BLIGHT RESISTANT (40 days)—A blight resistant strain of 
the Savoy Leaved Spinach developed at the Virginia Experiment Sta¬ 
tion, making it now possible to grow spinach successfully on infected soil. 
A fairly early seeder.

CULTURE —The plants are very tender and sensitive to cold, and planting 
must be delayed until settled warm weather. The general principles of culture 
are the same as those given for cucumbers and melons, but the plants are less 
particular as to soil. The summer varieties should be planted 4 feet apart each 
way, and the winter sorts 8 feet. Three plants are sufficient for a hill. Do not 
break the stems from fruits intended for winter use, as the slightest injury 
will increase liability of decay. 
1 oz. Summer will plant 50 hills 
1 oz. Winter will plant 25 hills 
BANANA (105 days)—A prolific, oblong variety, feet in length by 6 
inches in diameter, having a gray-green shell with irregular stripes and 
dashes of a darker shade, distinctly pointed at the blossom end; solid 
dry flesh and small seed cavity. Rather late in maturing. 
CROOKNECK, GIANT SUMMER, BUSH (56 days)—The largest and one 
of the earliest summer varieties; fruits often 2 to & A feet long, very warty 
and deep orange in color. 
CROOKNECK, GOLDEN SUMMER, BUSH (50 days)—A standard early 
and productive summer sort. Fruits about a foot long, moderately warted 
and of a bright yellow color.
