Viking Spinach 
VIKING. < NEW -> Ear,y ’ Large, Dark Green, Long Standing. 
_1 The leaves are very large, somewhat, crumpled, dark green, 
quite tender and of excellent quality. This spinach grows so fast that 
it is ready before most other kinds. It is so large that in fact, you can 
start to cut it when it’s only about two-thirds grown. 
When fully grown it attains an enormous size but still retains its fine 
tender quality. This is a long standing variety and is finding an im¬ 
portant place in both home and commercial gardens.

NOBEL GIANT LEAVED. A very fine variety both for home and 
market. It is very early and is so large and grows so rapidly that it can 
be cut before other kinds, except Viking, are ready. It will stand a long 
time without bolting to seed, even if the weather becomes hot and dry. 
The leaves are nearly twice as large as the old kinds, resemble Viking 
but are smoother, are medium dark green, quite thick.

BLIGHT-RESISTANT SAVOY. Grow this variety for Fall Crops. 
This strain of Norfolk or Bloomsdale Savoy is quite resistant to the 
blight or “yellows” which is destructive in many localities especially in 
the fall. A valuable variety in localities where blight injures fall spinach. 
Although no spinach of this class will stand a long time when sown 
in the spring, our strain stands without bolting three or four days 
longer than most stocks, and is the most uniform stock of this variety 
grown.

SWISS CHARD or Spinach Beet 
Biesskohl (Ger.) Bieta (It.) 
A packet of seed ivill sow 15 feet of row; an ounce 50 feet. 
Swiss Chard is really a beet grown for its leaves. The entire leaves 
may be boiled and served as spinach or the midrib cooked alone; either 
are delicious. Sown in the spring the leaves are soon ready to eat and if 
cut will continue to grow and produce tender young leaves all summer and 
fall. If given a little protection it will survive the winter and make ex¬ 
cellent greens early in the spring. 
FORDHOOK GIANT Best Variety. The leaves are 
-1 dark green, very large, much curled 
or “Savoyed,” thick of texture and quite tender making excellent boil¬ 
ing greens. The stems are pure white, broad and thick and make an 
excellent vegetable when cooked separately. We have the true stock.

Lucullus. This is a very large variety with curled leaves like a Savoy 
cabbage. The plants grow nearly 2 feet high and the leaves are very 
large and of fine quality. 
Pkt. 10c; Oz. 15c; J4 Lb. 35c; Lb. 95c. 
Silver Leaf. Large, smooth, dark green leaves with broad silvery white 
ribs and stems. 
Pkt. 10c; Oz. 15c; J4 Lb. 30c; Lb. 85c. 
Note: We cannot supply J4 ounces of seed priced at less than 30c 
per ounce. 
Spinach may be sown very early in the spring. It will be ready for use 
in four or five weeks after sowing. For fall use sow August 1st, and to 
winter over sow about September 1st in this latitude, and later further 
south. 
Spinach runs to seed quickly in hot weather, so the seed should be sown 
early in the spring or late in the summer in order to avoid having the crop 
mature in July or August. If sown about August 1st, spinach will grow 
large and can be used from the first of September until the ground freezes. 
SPECIAL SUMMER SAVOY. Longstanding. Forhome 
- gardens as well as commer¬ 
cial planting this variety has no equal. See photo and description on 
page 6.

LONG STANDING BLOOMSDALE. This is a wonderful improve¬ 
ment. over the old Norfolk Savoy or Bloomsdale spinach. It not only 
grows larger but stands ten days to two iveeks longer without bolting to 
seed. The leaves are very large , thick and heavy, deep green in color, 
very much crumpled and of the best quality. 
Home and market gardeners find this one of the most satisfactory 
varieties on account of its heavy yield and handsome appearance.

KING OF DENMARK. The Longest Standing Kind. Named and 
introduced by us in 1920. This spinach not only grows fast and pro¬ 
duces a large yield, but it stands longer without bolting to seed than any 
other variety. The leaves are broad, heavy, dark green and somewhat, 
blistered. The remarkable long standing ability and the fine quality 
make it one of the best, varieties for the home garden and canning.

Norfolk Savoy-Leaved (Reselected Bloomsdale). A very handsome 
variety, with dark green leaves curled or blistered like a Savoy cabbage. 
Buns to seed more quickly in hot weather than Long Standing Blooms¬ 
dale.

OLD DOMINION. A Longer Standing Blight Resistant. This 
variety is a cross between Blight Resistant Savoy and King of Den¬ 
mark. It has the large dark green crumpled leaf of the Savoy and stands 
up longer than other Blight Resistant kinds. It yields large crops and 
holds up well when cut and is a very valuable kind for spring sowing in 
places where spinach blights.

New Zealand Spinach 
Although this is not a true spinach, it has become one of the most 
popular summer “greens.” The leaves resemble spinach and are produced 
in abundance on stems a foot or more in length. It will grow during hot 
dry weather when other spinach would fail entirely and a few feet of row 
in the garden will furnish nice “greens” all summer. The seed is slow to 
germinate and should be. soaked 24 hours before planting. 
Pkt. 10c; Oz. 15c; M Lb. 20c; Lb. 50c; 5 Lbs. $2.25. 
Either leaves or stems or both are used.
