New Long Standing Bloomsdale. This improved strain of Nor¬ 
folk or Bloomsdale Savoy Spinach is a wonderful improve¬ 
ment over the old variety. It not only grows larger but 
stands ten days to two weeks longer without bolting. The 
leaves are very large, thick and heavy, deep green and very 
much crumpled and of the best quality. On account of the 
large size of the leaves it will yield twice as much as the 
older kinds. Gardeners will find this one of the most 
profitable varieties for market on account of its heavy yield 
and handsome appearance. Home gardeners find this kind 
a most satisfactory spinach to grow. We have an unusually 
fine strain .$0.25 $2.25 $20.00 
Blight Resistant Savoy. For fall sowing. True Virginia strain. 
We offer the true Virginia strain of this spinach which is 
almost 100% resistant to blight. In addition the quality 
has been greatly improved so that the plants are uniformly 
well “crumpled or blistered” and the color a beautiful dark 
green. This strain can be depended on to produce large 
crops of fine spinach in the fall where other varieties will 
blight and fail. We do not recommend this for spring sow¬ 
ing in places where blight does not ordinarily affect 
spinach in the spring, as it does not stand as well as most 
other kinds.25 2.25 20.00
