broadcast or m drills 1 foot apart and 1 inch deep as early as the ground can be worked, and every two weeks for a 
succession. For winter and early spring use sow in September in well-manured ground; cover with straw on the 
approach of severe cold weather. The ground cannot be too rich; the stronger the ground the more delicate and succulent 
will be the leaves.

Selected Bloomsdale Spinach 
604. Long Standing Bloomsdale Savoy. 
(48 days) (“Best in Garden” Variety) 
This new selection possesses extreme merit for the 
spring crop. While not quite so early as the old type 
Savoy, it may be harvested long after other types have 
grown to seed. The dark green, heavy foliage is as 
heavily savoyed as the best of other strains. Pkt. 10 
cts.; 1 oz. 15 cts.; >/ 4 lb. 25 cts.; lb. 60 cts., postpaid; 
not postpaid, 100 lbs., at 50 cts. lb. 
600. Curled Long Season. A Spinach that is similar 
to Bloomsdale Savoy yet will not seed as early when sown 
in the spring. It stands the hot summer heat yet has tender 
leaves. Pkt. 10 cts.; oz. 15 cts.; !4 lb. 25 cts.; lb. 60 cts., 
postpaid. 100 lbs., $50.00. 
601. Victoria Spinach. (48 days.) The foliage is heavy, 
the broad, dark green leaves are of the finest quality. Pkt. 
5 cts.; 2 ozs. 15 cts.; *4 lb- 20 cts.; lb. 35 cts., postpaid. 
603. Spring Spinach. (48 days.) The most valuable for 
spring sowing. Its long-standing quality makes it the best for 
that purpose. The foliage is very attractive, heavy dark green, 
curled leaves, of the true Savoy appearance. It will stand 
from 2 to 3 weeks after other varieties of spinach have shot 
to seed. It can be planted all spring and summer with surety 
99. Virginia Blight Resistant. (40 days.) An im¬ 
proved selection which is far superior to the ordinary Blight- 
Resistant strains offered. Our strain is almost as curled as 
our Reselected Bloomsdale, and the handsome, large, dark 
green, much savoyed and crumpled leaves are extremely crisp, 
tender and of upright growth. A long-standing strain of very 
excellent quality for the market or home gardener. Pkt. 10 
cts.; 1 oz. 15 cts.; y 4 lb. 25 cts.; lb. 60 cts., postpaid; not 
postpaid, 100 lbs., 50 cts. lb. 
602. Bolgiano’s Selected Bloomsdale Savoy. 
(45 days.) A mammoth seeded selection that possesses a vi¬ 
tality and vigor of growth and far outyields any other variety. 
After many years of tireless effort at breeding we are pleased 
to be able to offer a limited quantity of this improvement on 
the old standby. So we would advise your early orders, for 
when our stock gives out, you will have to wait until our new 
crop is harvested. Pkt. 10 cts.; 1 oz. 15 cts.; >4-lb. 25 cts.; 
lb. 60 cts., postpaid. 100-lb. lots, 50 cts. lb. 
605. Extra Dark Green Savoy Spinach, it is prob¬ 
ably about 2 days later than Bloomsdale Savoy but the plants 
are larger and less liable to bolt to seed, more heavily crum¬ 
pled and of more upright growth. The very dark green color 
is however the chief advantage. The plant breeder in making 
the selection for this dark green color has also improved the 
strain in its savoyed characteristics and entire freedom from 
smooth leaved plants. Pkt. 10 cts.; 1 oz. 15 cts.; *4 -lb. 25 
cts.; lb. 60 cts., postpaid. Not postpaid, 100-lb. lots, 50 cts. lb. 
212 . New Zealand (Tetragonia expansa). (55 days.) 
This is very different in character of growth, and when started 
early in the spring the plants will resist hot weather and pro¬ 
duce right up until hard freezing weather sets in. An abund¬ 
ance of thick, fleshy succulent leaves. Pkt. 5 cts.; 2 ozs. 25 
cts.; l / 4 lb. 40 cts.; lb. $1.25, postpaid. 
139. Tendergreen or Mustard Spinach. (30 days.) A 
cross between Mustard and Spinach with a delicious spinach 
flavor. It is desired by many in preference to spinach or 
mustard. It can be grown most of the year, being quite hardy 
in winter and standing hot weather as well. Leaves are gath¬ 
ered and boiled for greens just like turnips, mustard, spinach 
or kale. The flavor of tendergreen equals that of any other 
green. Pkt. 5 cts.; oz. 10 cts.; V 4 lb. 25 cts.; lb. 75 cts., post¬ 
paid.
