Spinat (Ger.) SPINACH Spinace (It.) 
Sow about 12 to 20 lbs. of seed per acre in rows. 
Spinach for 1941 
Of all the imported seeds upon which the Market Gardener depends, there is none in such 
short supply as spinach. The invasion of Holland cut off all shipments of the 1940 crop and it 
occured too late for most American seedsmen to get seed crops planted in this country, consequently 
there is very little new crop spinach seed and there was not very much seed held over. 
We were fortunate in being able to harvest some Viking, Blight Resistant Savoy and Long 
Standing Bloomsdale, which with our holdover seed will give us a small supply of these varieties 
and a few other kinds, which we will supply to our customers as long as it lasts, when accom- 
panied by orders for a reasonable amount of other seeds. 
We suggest that spinach growers plan their acreage carefully and place their orders as early 
as possible. We also think it good practice to try sowing seed a little thinner, and give it better care. 
Be sure to treat your spinach seed with Red Copper Oxide (Cuprocide) before sowing. See page 48.

BLIGHT RESISTANT SAVOY-LEAF. For Fall Crop.......... $ .70 $6.50 $15.50 $30.00 
We have an exceptionally fine stock of this variety. It is the iruwe Virginia 
strain which is practically 100% resistant to blight and can be depended on 
to produce large crops of fine dark well crumpled spinach in the fall where 
other varieties blight and fail entirely. 
Blight Resistant Savoy does not stand as well as most other kinds in the 
spring, although our strain will stand three to four days longer than most. 
KING OF DENMARK. Longest Standing..................... 107 -6:50° 15 50eeeau. UU 
This spinach will stand longer than any other kind. The leaves are very 
dark green, quite thick and have small stems. On this account and because 
of the heavy yield this is one of the best varieties for canning. True stock. 
LONGSTANDING BLOOMSDALE. (Savoy). For Spring Sowing .75 7.00 16.25 
We have an exceptionally well bred strain. Large deep green, well crumpled 
leaves which produce enormous crops and stand a long time without bolting 
to seed. We recommend this stock.

Large, early, medium dark, nearly smooth leaves. Grows rapidly and is 
ready to cut early. Remarkably long standing. An excellent and profitable 
kind for spring sowing where large volume is wanted. 
SPECIAL SUMMER SAVOY. Best Longstanding Bloomsdale... .75 7.00 16.25 
VIKING. (New) Large Leaved—Long Standing................ ci) eetO OU Meme ye 5c 
This new spinach has proved to be a most excellent kind for spring sowing 
as it grows very rapidly and thus sets to cutting size early. It will continue 
to grow for a long time and produce immense plants without going to seed. 
The large leaves resemble Nobel Giant Leaved in habit of growth but are 
somewhat darker in color and more crumpled. Will produce large crops. 
Tomate (Ger.) TOMATOES Pomo d’oro (It.) 
An ounce of seed will produce about 2000 plants. 
Harris’ New York State Certified Tomato Seed 
This is the sixth successive year we have offered New York State Certified Tomato seed of 
our own growing. This seed must meet the highest standard of purity and freedom from disease. 
Most of the tomato seed sold today is a by-product from fruit which has been processed in 
canning factories for the juice. Our Certified Tomato Seed is all grown on our own farms for seed 
only. Our seed crops are grown 100% from hot water treated stock seed and the seed is all saved 
by the fermentation process; reducing seed borne diseases such as early blight to a minimum.

Topper 
Pritchard’s Scarlet Topper 
Also Called ‘‘Pritchard”’ 
Because of its fine quality and beautiful ap- 
pearance, this tomato has become a very popular 
market variety. Starting with stock seed sent 
us by the United States Department of Agricul- 
ture, we have been growing and selecting the 
seed here in the North in order to maintain the 
size, vigor and earliness of this variety. 
_ 4 This is a very heavy bearer. The fruit is me- 
: dium early, ripening right after Bonny Best. The 
flesh is very solid with few seed cavities and a 
fine red color all through. It is quite free from 
cracking. The quality is extra fine, being mild 
and without acidity. 
The plants are robust but not of rank growth.
