SPINACH 
CULTURE.—For early Summer use, sow as early in the 
Spring as the ground can be worked and for later use until 
April, after which time it runs to seed, except the New 
Zealand which is a Summer variety. For Winter use, sow 
from August to the middle of November. Spinach will not 
thrive on poor soil, therefore select a rich piece of soil, well 
fertilized. It is best to sow in drills 12 to 18 inches apart, 
1 to 13 ^ inches deep. When the plants are well started they 
should be thinned out to about 6 to 8 inches apart in the row. 
Being of a delicate nature, it is sometimes difficult to get a 
good stand, this is particularly true if weather conditions are 
not favorable. 1 ounce to 100 feet of row, 12 to 20 pounds to 
the acre. 
A Field of Our Bloomsdale Long Standing Savoy Spinach 
RESELECTED BLOOMSDALE SAVOY 
A distinct improvement over the old Bloomsdale Savoy, 
in that it is extremely early, very hardy and withstands the 
Winter very well. The leaves are beautifully crumpled and 
blistered and free from pointed leaves; rich deep, glossy 
green; of splendid quality. A rapid grower; suitable for Fall 
or early Spring planting. The seed we offer has been carefully 
reselected and rogued for all faulty plants. Seed round. Oz. 
lOc, 34 lb. 15c, lb. 25c, 10 lbs. $1.60. 
VIRGINIA BLIGHT RESISTANT SAVOY 
A Savoy-leaved sort, bred at the Virginia Experiment 
Station for blight resistance. Upstanding, vigorous plants, 
seeding rather early; highly desirable for planting in infested 
soil. Oz. 10c, 34 lb. 15c, lb. 30c, 10 lbs. $1.75. 
NEW LONG STANDING BLOOMSDALE 
SAVOY 
In appearance quite similar to the Bloomsdale strain, 
may be of a little more compact growth, the leaves being 
more intensively green. Nearly as early as our Reselected 
Bloomsdale, and on account of nearly total absence of male 
plants it stands heat remarkably well. When other kinds 
have bolted to seed, it does not even show the least incli¬ 
nation to shoot and will stand up and remain in prime con¬ 
dition for at least two weeks longer. What this means to the 
market gardener may readily be seen. Oz. 10c, 34 lb. 15c, 
lb. 30c, 10 lbs. $1.75. 
PRINCESS JULIANA 
Compact habit, slow growing and very long standing. 
Leaves rounded, with short stems; thick, crumpled, very 
dark green; withstands warm weather, making it desirable 
for late planting. Oz. 10c, 34 lb. 15c, lb. 30c, 10 lbs. $1.75. 
EXTRA DARK GREEN SAVOY 
Darker green than o”dirary Bloomsdale varieties; stands 
10 days longer before bolting to seed, is very crumpled and 
stands the heat better than the Bloomsdale varieties. Oz. 
10c, 34 lb. 15c, lb. 30c, 10 lbs. $1.60. 
OLD DOMINION BLIGHT RESISTANT 
Of recent introduction. A cross between the blight resis¬ 
tant Savoy and King of Denmark, by the Virginia Experi¬ 
ment Station. We highly recommend it for early Spring 
planting, but not for Fall or mid-winter as it is a slow grower. 
Does remarkably well on disease infested soil. Oz. 10c, 34 
lb. 15c, lb. 30c, 10 lbs. $1 7 . 
SPECIAL SUMMER SAVOY 
Resembles in general appearance a fine strain of Long 
Standing Bloomsdale, except that it is a shade darker green 
and a trifle more curled. But its greatest advantage is the 
better suitability as a Summer Spinach. Pkt. 10c, 3411b. 
15c, lb. 30c, 10 lbs. $1.60. 
NEW ZEALAND 
Unlike true spinach; it is absolutely distinct in form and 
habit of growth. It is not a spinach, though used as such. 
The foliage is thick, succulent, dark green and never sun¬ 
burns. The plant becomes very large and spreading, with 
comparatively small leaves; later in maturing than spinach 
of usual form, but remaining in edible condition ten times 
as long. A sort to “Cut and Come Again,” as it is most 
productive. Can be grown successfully on rich or poor soil. 
Plant three or four seeds in hills two feet apart each way.
