BLOOMSDALE SAVOY, Dark Green Strain: 42 
days. A very dark green strain. Its darker color gives 
the plants a fresh appearance for a longer time after 
being cut than ordinary Bloomsdale. Not quite as 
long standing as Long Standing Bloomsdale. Leaves 
large and much savoyed. Suitable for early spring 
sowing in east. Pkt. 5 cts.; X lb. 12 cts.; lb. 22 
cts.; 10 lbs. $1.85, Prepaid; 100 lbs. $16.25, Not 
prepaid. 
LONG STANDING BLOOMSDALE : 42 days. Very 
popular for spring sowing. Leaves are deep green, 
much curled and savoyed. Holds without going to 
seed much longer than the old Bloomsdale. Pkt. 
5 cts.; X lb. 10 cts.; lb. 22 cts.; 10 lbs. $1.85, 
Prepaid; 100 lbs. $16.25, Not prepaid. 
SUMMER SAVOY : 45 days. A new strain of Long 
Standing Bloomsdale. Somewhat later than Long 
Standing Bloomsdale and not quite as large but 
stands longer without going to seed. Leaves well 
savoyed and dark green in color. We recommend 
this strain for summer planting. Pkt. 5 cts.; X lb. 
10 cts.; lb. 22 cts.; 10 lbs. $1.85, Prepaid; 100 lbs. 
$16.25, Not prepaid. 
NOBEL: 45 days. A strain of Giant Thick Leaved 
Spinach. The large thick leaves are very dark green, 
crisp, tender and of good flavor. Nobel is very slow 
to go to seed and in our trials has outyielded other 
varieties. Leaves are only slightly savoyed. Can be 
used for first spring crop where heavy savoying is not 
a factor. Pkt. 5 cts.; X lb. 12 cts.; lb. 22 cts.; 10 
lbs. $1.85, Prepaid; 100 lbs. $16.25, Not prepaid. 
BLIGHT RESISTANT SAVOY: 39 days. Bred at 
the Virginia Experiment Station for blight resistance. 
Not good for spring planting as it goes to seed quickly 
in hot weather. Recommended for late summer 
planting for fall use. Dark green, heavily savoyed. 
Pkt. 5 cts.; X lb. 12 cts.; lb. 22 cts.; 10 lbs. $1.85, 
Prepaid; 100 lbs. $16.25, Not prepaid. 
NEW ZEALAND : 70 days. Not a true spinach; thrives 
in hot weather. It is spreading in habit, leaves are 
small, dark green and can be picked repeatedly 
throughout the season. Plants continue to put out 
new shoots until frost. Many people like this vari¬ 
ety; however, to us, the “greens’’ have a peculiar 
flavor and are not to be compared with the other vari¬ 
eties. Seed should be soaked for 24 hours before 
planting. Pkt. 5 cts.; X lb. 15 cts.; lb. 35 cts.; 
10 lbs. $3.60. 
SQUASH 
*GIANT SUMMER STRAIGHTNECK : 55 days. 
An improvement over the old Bush Crookneck as it 
packs better for shipping. Our seed stock is, we be¬ 
lieve, one of the finest in the east. The plant is semi¬ 
bush type; the squashes are large and rich yellow in 
color. Pkt. 5 cts.; oz. 15 cts.; X lb. 35 cts.; lb. 
$1.15.

days. One of the best known Italian squashes.

stripes. Flesh greenish white and of fine flavor. Grows 
15 to 20 inches in length. Pkt. 5 cts.; oz. 15 cts.;

individual squashes are 5 to 6 inches long by 4X 
inches in diameter. They are ribbed, smooth and dark

customary to bake these whole or halved. After bak¬ 
ing, add butter and seasoning and serve in the shell.

restaurant and hotel. Pkt. 5 cts.; oz. 15 cts.; X lb- 
40 cts.;lb. $1.20. 
CONNECTICUT STRAIGHTNECK: 50 days. Ear¬ 
lier and more dwarf in growth than the Giant Sum¬ 
mer Straightneck. We believe this new variety, 
originated by the Connecticut Experiment Station, 
will help many growers to take advantage of the 
early market when prices are high. Pkt. 5 cts.; oz. 
20 cts.; X lb. 60 cts.; lb. $2.00. 
^DELICIOUS: 102 days. One of the better quality

ity. Pkt. 10 cts.; oz. 25 cts.; X lb- 60 cts.; lb.
