SORREL—European Origin 
Sorrel is cultivated for its leaves which are used in the same manner 
as Spinach. As with Spinach the seed stalks should be cut off as

tough.

SPINACH 
Spinach was first cultivated in Western Asia. Introduced into China before the eighth century. 
In China it is called Putsai, meaning a vegetable from Persia. The seed was originally all prickly. 
Four Ozs. of Seed Will Sow 100 Yds. of Row. Ten Lbs. Per Acre When in Rows. Twenty-five Lbs. 
to the Acre Broadcast. Ask for Special Prices on Larger Quantities. Seed breaks ground in 8 days. 
One inch high in 12 days under most favorable circumstances in greenhouse. 
Blight Resistant or Virginia Blight Resistant 
Savoy—45 Days. Developed by the Virginia 
Truck Experimental Station, Norfolk, Virginia, 
after many years of careful breeding. It is of the 
Bloomsdale type. Resistant to mosaic diseases, 
yellows or blight. It is not adapted to Spring plant¬ 
ing as it shoots to seed quickly at that time. 
BLOOMSDALE LONG STANDING—45 Days. 
Remains about 8 to 14 days longer in table condition 
than the main crop, Bloomsdale Reselected, is larger 
and about 5 days later. Remarkable in the almost 
total absence of male plants. This selection pos¬ 
sesses all the good qualities of the famous Blooms¬ 
dale 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. 
BLOOMSDALE RESELECTED DARK GREEN 
—40 Days. 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 all catalogs in the United States and 
is equally well 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. 
The leaves are twisted, blistered or savoyed, and a 
glossy dark green, giving them an elasticity adapting 
them for transportion over long distances. This 
Seed may be sown in the Autumn or as early in the 
Spring as the condition of the ground will permit. 
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. 
Giant Nobel or Gaudry—50 Days. An erect, 
strong growing, long standing sort of the Flanders 
type. Leaves large, 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 or bolt to seed. 
King of Denmark—50 Days. An intermediate, 
long-standing, heat resistant variety, hardy, vigor¬ 
ous grower, spreading in habit, inclined to grow flat 
on the ground, leaves large, long, broad. 
MUSTARD SPINACH 
Mustard Spinach or Tendergreen—Narrow spoon-like, dark green leaves combine flavor of Spinach 
and Mustard. i
