SPINACH 

CULTURE.—For early Summer use, sow as early in the 
Spring as the ground can be worked and for later use until | 
April, after, which time it runs to seed, except the New 
Zealand which is a Summer variety. For Winter use, sow 
from August to the middle of November. Spinach will not | 
thrive on poor soil, therefore select a rich piece of soil, well 


fertilized. It is best to sow in drills 12 to 18 inches apart, 
1 to-11% inches deep. When the plants are well started they 
should be thinned out to about 6 to 8 inches apart in the row. 
Being of a delicate nature, it is sometimes difficult to get a 
good stand, this is particularly true if weather conditions are 
zo favorable. 1 ounce to 100 feet of row, 12 to 20 pounds to 
the acre. 


A Field of Our Bloomsdale Long Standing Savoy Spinach 
RESELECTED BLOOMSDALE SAVOY 
39 Days. A distinct improvement over the old Bloomsdale 
Savoy, in that it is extremely early, very hardy and with- 
stands the Winter very well. The leaves are beautifully 
crumpled and blistered and free from pointed Jeaves; rich 
deep, glossy green; of splendid quality. A rapid grower; 
suitable for Fall or early Spring pJantng. The seed we offer 
has been carefully reselected and rogued for all faulty 
plants. Seed round. Oz. 10c, 14 Ib. 20c, Ib. 60c. 
VIRGINIA BLIGHT RESISTANT SAVOY 
39 Days. A Savoy-leaved sort, bred at the Virginia Exper- 
jment Station for blight resistance. Upstanding, vigorous 
plants, seeding rather early; highly desirable for plantning in 
infested soil. Oz. 10c, 14 Ib. 25c, lb. 75c. 
NEW LONG STANDING BLOOMSDALE 
SAVOY 
42 Days. In appearance quite similar to the Bloomsdale 
strain, may be cf a little more compact growth, the leaves 
being more intensively green. Nearly as early as our Re- 
selected Bloomsdale, and on account of near.y total absence 
of male plants it stands heat remarkably well. When other 
kinds have bolted to seed, it does not even show the least 
inclination to shoot and will stand up and remain in prime 
condition for at least two weeks longer. What this means to 
the market gardener may readily be seen. Oz. 10c, 14 lb. 
25c, Ib. 75c. 
PRINCESS JULIANA 
48 Days. Compact habit, slow growing and very long 
standing. Leaves rounded, with short stems, thick, crum- 
pled, very dark green; withstands warm weather, making it 
desirable for late planting. Oz. 10c 14 Ib. 25c, lb. 75c. 

EXTRA DARK GREEN SAVOY 
39 Days. Darker green than ordinary Bloomsdale 
varieties; stands 10 days longer before bolting to seed, is 
very crumpled and stands the heat better than the Blooms- 
dale varieties. Oz. 10c, 14 lb. 20c, Ib. 60c. 
OLD DOMINION BLIGHT RESISTANT 
40 Days. Of recent introduction. A cross between the 
blight resistant Savoy and King of Denmark, by the Virginia 
Experiment Station. We highly recommend it for early 
Spring planting, but not for Fall or mid-winter as it is a slow 
grower. Does remarkably well on disease infested soil. Oz. 
10c, 14 Ib. 25c, Ib. 75c. 
SPECIAL SUMMER SAVOY 
42 Days. Resembles in general appearance a fine strain of 
Long Standing Bloomsdale, except that it is a shade darker 
green and a trifle more curled. But its greatest advantage is 
the better suitability as a Summer Spinach—Pkt. 10c, 
14 Ib. 25c, Ib. 75c. 
NEW ZEALAND 
70 Days. Unlike true spinach; it is absolutely distinct in 
form and habit of growth. It is not a spinach, though used as 
such. The foliage is thick, succulent, dark green and never 
sunburns. The plant becomes very large and spreading, with 
comparatively small leaves; later in maturing than spinach 
of usual form, but remaining in edible condition ten times 
as long. A sort to ‘Cut and Come Again,” as it is most 
productive. Can be grown successfully on rich or poor soil. 
Plant three or four seeds in hills two feet apart each way. 
Pkt. 10c, oz. 15c, 14 Ib. 25c, Ib. 75c.
