Dark Green Bloomsdale Savoy. Best for 
fall, but if sown very early in the spring 
will produce a good crop. This early 
variety produces large, glossy, 
dark green leaves, crumpled, 
thick and of great substance. 
Haarlem Market. A fine new, 
prickly-seeded Savoy with 
dark green, heavily savoyed 
leaves like Long-Standing 
Savoy but hugging the ground 
closer. Being very hardy, it 
winters over better than round- 
seeded Savoys. Can be sown ear- 
lier as the seed withstands rot and 
wilt from cold, unfavorable spring. 
It grows rapidly, matures early, 
and is partly resistant to blight. Try it for both early and late plantings. Regu- 
late your seeder carefully to allow for the prickly seed. Be sure to try this. 
Long-Standing Savoy. A very fine strain. It will stand in marketable condition 
10 to 14 days longer before bolting than regular Savoy and is darker green. The 
inferior early shooting male plants are entirely lacking. It is intensely crumpled 
and blistered and very uniform. Our strain is specially selected,you'll like it. 
Old Dominion. A long-standing strain of Virginia Blight-resistant Savoy best 
adapted for late fall or wintered over crops, and will withstand ‘“‘Yellows.’’ The 
leaves are well crumpled and of a dark blue-green color. 
Special Summer Savoy. Excellent, uniform strain, out of Long-standing Savoy, 
with darker green, heavily crumpled, savoyed plants which stand 3 to 4 days 
longer without bolting. Leaves hold crumple in hot weather better than others. 
Virginia Blight-Resistant Savoy. A distinct strain selected and propagated from 
plants that show a blight-resisting vigor under actual blight conditions where 
ordinary strains of seed could not be successfully grown. Virginia Blight-Resistant 
Savoy is best suited for fall crop as it bolts to seed quickly in warm weather.
