SPINACH 
Two ounces will sow a row 100 feet long; 8 to 10 lbs. when 
planted in rows 18 inches apart, or, 20 to 25 lbs., when 
planted in 10-inch rows on beds 4 feet wide, will plant an acre. 
Culture: Spinach requires rich, sweet land and liberal fertilizer. For fall crops, 
sow three-fourths inch deep from the first of August to the 10th of November, and 
when the plants are large enough, thin from 4 to 6 inches apart. For spring crop, 
sow from February to April. 
Tait's Thorobred Dark Green Norfolk or Bloomsdale Savoy. 
(40 days). Our re-selected strain of Bloomsdale Savoy is earlier than the ordinary 
Bloomsdale, and slower in going to seed. The plants are quite large, with thick, 
glossy, dark green crumpled or savoyed leaves, which remain crisp and fresh a long 
time after being cut and packed. A good sort for planting in the fall or early spring. 
Oz., 5c; 1/4 lb., 15c; lb., 30c; 5 lbs., $1.25, postpaid. 
Tait's Thorobred Long Standing Bloomsdale Savoy. 
In our judgment this is the best all-around late seeding Spinach. The color is very 
dark green, the leaves remarkably savoyed, and it will remain in marketable con¬ 
dition in the spring two weeks longer than Norfolk Bloomsdale before going to seed.

Old Dominion Spinach 
Northland. 
(45 days). A 
dark green 
selection from Giant Thick 
Leaved Nobel Spinach. The 
huge, smooth leaves are very 
succulent and of splendid 
quality. This variety will pro¬ 
duce more tonnage per acre 
than any other sort, and is 
slow in going to seed. A good 
sort for the home garden, and 
especially good for canning. 
Oz., 5c; 1/4 lb., 20c; lb., 40c; 5 
lbs., $1.50, postpaid. 
Old Dominion. 
(45 days). A late seeding, 
blight-resistant Spinach de¬ 
veloped by Dr. H. H. Zim- 
merly of the Virginia Truck 
Experiment Station. It is a 
cross between Virginia Savoy 
and King of Denmark, and 
possesses the blight-resistance 
of the Virginia Savoy and the 
late seeding characteristic of 
the King of Denmark. The 
leaves are dark green, and 
crumpled or savoyed except at 
the tip. Should be sown in the 
late fall or early spring for the 
spring crop. Oz., 5c; V4 ll>.i 15c; 
lb., 35c; 5 lbs., $1.35, postpaid. 
Princess Juliana. 
An improved late seeding 
Spinach and a good variety 
for spring sowing for local 
markets, as it is of splendid 
quality, productive and very 
slow to bolt to seed. The leaves 
are slightly savoyed and quite 
dark in color. For shipping it 
is not so good as Long Stand¬ 
ing Bloomsdale Savoy. Oz., 5c; 
lb., 15c; lb., 35c; 5 lbs., 
$1.35, postpaid. 
Virginia Savoy 
Blight-Resistant. 
(40 days). This distinct vari¬ 
ety was developed by Dr. H. 
H. Zimmerly at the Virginia 
Truck Experiment Station at 
Virginia Savoy Spinach Norfolk, Virginia, and can be 
grown in “blight” (mosaic) 
infested soils where ordinary Spinach cannot be grown. Our seed is produced from stock seed fur¬ 
nished by the Virginia Truck Experiment Station; is almost as savoyed as the Norfolk or Bloomsdale; 
just as early, nearly as dark in color, and far superior to most of the so-called “blight-resistant” 
strains being offered in the trade. Should be planted only in the late summer or early fall, as it goes 
to seed quickly when sown in the spring. Oz., 5c; % lb., 15c; lb., 30c; 5 lbs., $1.25, postpaid. 
King 
of Donmork ^ popular Long Standing variety. It is medium early, of rapid growth, re- 
Ul L/clilllUi Iv. sembling somewhat Long Standing, but the leaves are more savoyed, and of 
a dark green color. Slow in running to seed. Oz., 6c; % lb., 15c; lb., 35c; 5 lbs., $1.35, postpaid. 
Norfolk or Bloomsdale Spinach 
New Zealand Spinach 
Now 7.f^n\nnA days). A “cut and come again” summer variety, and while 
Mew Z.CUIUIIU. botanically related to Spinach, is a good substitute. The 
large, spreading plants grow vigorously in any soil during hot weather, producing 
an astonishing quantity of small, thick, 
pointed dark green leaves which resem¬ 
ble Spinach in appearance and flavor, 
and when cut, come again in a few days. 
Plant from April to July, % of an inch 
deep in rows feet apart, dropping 
3 or 4 seeds every 2 feet in the row. The 
seed should be soaked 24 hours before 
planting, Pkt., 5c; oz., 10c; 1/4 lb., 25c; 
lb., 75c; 5 lbs., $2.75, postpaid.
