spinach 
Above is a field of our Virginia Blight-resistant Spinach 
grown by W. C. Kort, Rochester, N. Y. Note size and 
trueness. 
BLOOMSDALE SAVOY. The earliest of all. Thick, 
large, curled leaves. Our stock has been grown 
under our immediate direction. 
Cannot supply. 
KING OF DENMARK. A very quick grower, with 
dark, thick, heavy, half-crimped leaves that stand 
long before running to seed. 
Cannot supply. 
LONG SEASON, Extra Selected. The finest of all 
summer varieties. Very heavy, dark green, curled 
leaves growing closer to the ground than Blooms- 
dale. Very productive. 
Cannot supply. 
VIRGINIA BLIGHT-RESISTANT (American 
Grown). We grow this variety in the U. S. A. 
directly from our own stock seed which we de¬ 
veloped into the truest strain possible to produce. 
The leaves are well crimped, color dark. It grows 
upright, producing a yield as great as any Long¬ 
standing variety. Oz. 10 cts.; 20 cts.; lb. 
55 cts.; 10 lbs. $5; 100 lbs. $45. 
I harvested 2 acres of this 4-acre field before the market 
broke and sold 2,000 bushel baskets of Spinach from the 2 
acres harvested. We started cutting when the Spinach was 
rather small and at the time we stopped cutting it 
would cut from 1,200 to 1,300 bushels per acre. The 
type of Spinach was extra good and no other 
strain mixed. It was the best Bloomsdale 
Long-Standing that I have seen. 
LONG-STANDING BLOOMSDALE. This is a 
new variety introduced six years ago and is 
upright in growth. It resembles Bloomsdale 
Savoy but will grow to a much larger size and will 
stay ten days longer on the ground before running 
to seed. This is fast becoming the most popular 
variety for all seasons’ use, producing more bushels 
per acre. 
Cannot supply. 
GIANT THICK-LEAF. A quick-growing sort, with 
very large, round, and almost smooth leaves. 
Most popular for canning-house Spinach. 
Cannot supply. 
JULIANA. Another type of Spinach that is a fa¬ 
vorite among the commercial growers. This is a 
type that grows rather close to the ground, very 
curly or crimped, and is one of the longest stand¬ 
ing varieties. In many cases it will stand ten days 
longer than Long-standing Bloomsdale. 
Cannot supply.
