Spinach 
German—Spinat. Italian—Spinace. Spanlsli—^Esplnaca. 
Reselected Long Standing Bloomsdale 
Monstrous Viroflay. 47 days. An extremely large mid- 
season, vigorous-growing variety, with long, broad, 
pointed, thick, smooth leaves of deep green color. Ex¬ 
cellent for home gardens and for truckers. 
Northland. This variety has all the good characteristics of 
the Giant Nobel but in addition the leaves are much 
darker green color, and are large. This new variety we 
recommend highly for summer planting in high altitudes. 
Old Dominion. Blight resistant. This variety is very re¬ 
sistant to Mosaic diseases. Also known as yellows or 
blight. On our trial we have found it to be the best 
blight resistant sort. Leaves are very curly or Savoy, 
dark green color, large in size, borne on long, strong 
stems, withstands cold weather and very suitable for 
late fall crop. An enormous yielder. 
New Zealand. (Tetragonia expansa.) 70 days. Native 
of New Zealand, quite distinct from other varieties of 
spinach, it thrives in hot, dry weather. The large, 
spreading plants have small, thick, pointed, deep green 
leaves, which can be picked repeatedly throughout the 
season. 
Culture: Spinach thrives in any ordinary soil but rich 
soil int^reases the size and quality and its cultivation is 
a very simple matter. To secure good spinach early in 
the spring, the seed should be planted in the fall. For 
a succession, sow again early in the spring and every 
two weeks thereafter. Sow seed in rows 16 to 20 inches 
apart and thin to 2 to 4 inches apart, or seed may be 
broadcast and thinned out to 4 inches. 
King of Denmark. 50 days. The plants are large, vigorous 
and spreading. Leaves are borne on rather long stems, 
very thick, arrow shaped, deep green. It is classed 
as a smooth variety. However, leaves are slightly curled 
and blistered; remains a long time in good condition 
both while growing in the field and after having been 
cut. A very heavy yielder. 
Long Standing Bloomsdale Savoy. It remains in fine con¬ 
dition even in hot, dry climate 10 days longer than any 
other variety of spinach before going to seed. The plants 
grow erect, leaves semicurled, a dark green glossy color. 
Reselected Long Standing Bloomsdale. This is an improved 
Long Standing Bloomsdale. The seed we offer is from 
selected plants and this variety we especially recommend 
to spinach growers in the mountains or high altitudes, 
because it is a heavy yielder and true to type and even 
slower to go to seed than our standard stock of Long 
Standing Bloomsdale. Through careful breeding and se¬ 
lection a much sturdier plant of fine appearance. Grows 
erect, leaves semicurled, of a dark green color. 
Harlem Market or Prickly Seeded Bloomsdale. The best 
variety to be planted for wintering over, as it is very 
hardy. The seed is prickly, leaves very much curled 
and thick. We recommend this variety instead of 
Prickly Seed Winter. 
Giaat Nobel or Gaudry. 46 days. Very valuable 
commercial sort. Plants large, vigorous and spreading; 
leaves large, thick, almost smooth; pointed with rounded 
tip; deep green color. Slow to go to seed. Holds up 
well after being cut. 
^ Vlklag or Qaeeii of Hollaad. A new introduction and 
^ of gi-eat merit. The leaves are large like King of Den¬ 
mark, but are borne on shorter stems. Matures earlier 
than King of Denmark. Color is darker than Giant 
Nobel or King of Denmark. Leaves are thick, slightly 
curled and slightly rounded at ends. A very heavy 
yielder and a slow seeder. We are pleased to recommend 
it very highly.
