52 FERRY-MORSE SEED CO. 
SALSIFY 
MAMMOTH SANDWICH ISLAND : Days 
The standard variety for home, market garden and shipping. Produces uniform 150 
long tapered white roots. 
SORREL 
LARGE LEAVED FRENCH 
The standard home garden and market sort; produces large, thick, bright 60 
green arrow-shaped leaves of mildly acid flavor. 
NARROW LEAF (Silver Leaf) 
The leaves are narrower and grow more upright than those of the Large 60 
Leaved. Many markets demand this variety. 
SPINACH 
We have indicated the number of days usually required to produce plants large enough 
to cut for market, from seed sown out of doors early in May at our Oakview Experi- 
mental Gardens near Detroit. 
% DARK GREEN PRICKLY SEEDED (Morse’s) ; Days 
The very hardy prickly seeded variety commonly used for market and canning 45 
in California. The leaves are large, thick and dark green. 
% GIANT THICK LEAVED (Nobel) | 
(Round Seeded.) Decidedly the best of the round seeded thick leaved group. 43 
Because of the enormous yield, long standing character, and the deep green 
color and smooth character of the leaves, this is highly recommended for 
canning as well as for home and market garden. Leaves very large, thick, 
broad arrow-shaped with rounded tip. 
JULIANA (Long Standing) 
(Round Seeded.) The most excellent sort for long distance shipping and, 50 
in the home and market garden, to succeed the extra early sorts. Plants dense, 
compact, with extremely dark green leaves that are roundish, thick and 
crumpled; very late to produce flower stalks. Similar to Victoria, but 
definitely superior in long standing quality. 
KING OF DENMARK 
(Round Seeded.) Extremely long standing, smooth, dark green leaved sort for 48 
home and market garden as well as for canning. Plants large and spreading 
with large thick leaves that are only slightly crumpled. Spring sown crops are 
very often free of flower stalks until midsummer. 
*LONG STANDING BLOOMSDALE 
(Round Seeded.) In demand for home and market gardens because of the 45 
uniform, handsome plants and remarkable long standing quality. Resembles 
Savoy Leaved or Bloomsdale, but is a trifle later, of more compact habit, a 
trifle darker green and remains free of flower stalks about two weeks longer. 
OLD DOMINION (Blight Resistant) 
A cross between Virginia Blight-Resistant Savoy and King of Denmark. Large, 40 
dark green, heavily crumpled leaves. Long standing and resistant to mosaic. 
Used mostly for an early spring crop. 
*SAVOY LEAVED OR BLOOMSDALE 
(Round Seeded.) The standard very early sort for home and market garden. 40 
Plants upright and compact, attain height of 10—12 in. and spread of 12—15 
in. eaves large; blistered and crumpled; rich deep, glossy green; of splendid 
quality. 
SUMMER SAVOY 
(Round Seeded.) A new strain of Long Standing Bloomsdale; slightly later 48 
and not quite so productive, but stands longer before starting to bolt. Leaves 
more crumpled and blistered, and plant more compact and somewhat darker 
green. Attractive for home and market garden as well as for shipping.
