Bloomsdale Savoy, Dark Green _....... 
Plant very early, hardy, vigorous and rapid growing; has tendency 
to go quickly to seed in hot weather; leaves medium large, distinctly 
blistered, “‘savoyed’’ and crumpled ; thick in texture; rich, deep, medium- 
dark, glossy, green. For late fall or early spring sowing. 
LOR Se LRN O mma VOY tec MD n 7 ea ie 
About 3 to 5 days later than Bloomsdale, but will stand two weeks longer 
before bolting to seed. Plants very uniform; leaves medium large, in- 
tensely blistered or savoyed and crumpled, very thick in texture and rich, 
deep, dark glossy green. An excellent all season spinach. 
New Summer Long Standing Savoy 
A new and improved strain of Long Standing Savoy, distinguished for 
its darker Green Color. It will stand 3 to 4 days longer without bolting 
to seed and is remarkably uniform, with a trifle more curl than the parent. 
Virginia Blight Resistant Savoy 
Developed at the Virginia Experiment Station. The fastest growing of 
the savoy types of spinach; very similar to Bloomsdale Savoy; should 
only be used for late fall in our section as it is the quickest bolting 
of all savoy types in warm weather. 
Tait’s Thorobred Virginia Blight-Resistant Savoy _ 
This is Tait’s own strain procured from them direct. 
Olde Damon we en ne ee re te 
A cross between Virginia Blight Resistant Savoy and King of Denmark. 
Plants similar to Savoy but leaves are somewhat more pointed. Used 
chiefly for fall planting for early spring harvest or wintering over. 
Not recommended for a fall crop, as it grows too slow. 
Haarlem Market (Prickly Seeded Savoy) 
This variety is earlier, quicker growing and hardier than Bloomsdale 
Savoy as well as being remarkably resistant to blight. Being hardier than 
round seeded spinaches, it will stand cold and unfavorable weather. 
Win ee at enim ar ke tae ee ae ee 
Medium early; remarkably long standing and heat resistant sort. 
Plant hardy, vigorous and rapid in growth; leaves large, long, moderate- 
ly broad and tapered, thick and firm texture; dark dull green in color; 
slightly crumpled and blistered. A fine summer spinach. 
Pa TeLAGIAT CCE nICK sl sCAV CO re acts es ee) ee 
By far the best of the so-called ‘‘smooth-leaved’’ sorts. It produces a 
large mass of rather smooth, very thick, rounded leaves, of enormous 
size, and although it is a very quick grower, it stands very long be- 
fore bolting. Bright green color. 
MET ATC GSS orp ATL NATIO ee ee cee ee Ne ae i SL 
Midseason. Plant very hardy and vigorous; forms a dense, compact 
rosette with short petioles ; leaves large, rounded, thick texture, markedly 
blistered or savoyed and crumpled; very rich, dark, glossy, metallic green. 
An excellent long standing sort. 
ete? CALA TIC Ck eee Ge en AOU LA as 
Entirely distinct from the true Spinach; plant tall and spreading with 
numerous side shoots; leaves medium green, rather small and pointed; 
grows well in hot weather and under adverse conditions. 
Spinach Seed Treatment 
Growers often have difficulty in securing a good stand of spinach. This is often 
caused by damping-off of the young plants and may be controlled by treating the seed 
with Red Copper Oxide Dust before planting. Use this dust at the rate of 144 pound to a 
bushel of seed (approximately 50 pounds). 
However this treatment will not prevent young spinach plants from burning 
off during the hot summer months.
