99 BLOOMSDALE 
LONG STANDING SPINACHS 
48 days. Quick-growing hardy spinach much planted for 
home and market use as well as for canning. The glossy 
green leaves are intensely crinkled and blistered, in addi- 
tion to being of a very heavy texture. Remains in the 
rosette stage for a long time without bolting; this char- 
acteristic adapts it to later spring planting than other 
strains of Bloomsdale. In addition to spring plant- 
ings, it is valuable for sowing in the fall. All these 
desirable qualities make it a foremost variety in 
every regard; easy to harvest, easy to clean.

glossy dark green leaves of fine quality. Exceptionally long standing even

Spinach 1003 Virginia Blight Resistant 
42 days Animproved selection which is far superior to the ordinary blight- 
resistant strains offered. Our strain is almost as curled as our Reselected 
Bloomsdale, and the handsome, large, dark green, much savoyed and 
crumpled leaves are extremely crisp, tender, and of upright growth. Quick 
. grower, so should be used as a first-early spring crop. It is also most satis- 
factory for fall and winter planting, and since it shows considerable cold 
resistance, it may be successfully over-wintered as far north as Maryland. 
For sections where mosaic is prevalent, we recommend this variety.

The Hot Weather or Everlasting Spinach 
70 days. This plant, when prepared for the table, so greatly 
resembles spinach in appearance and flavor that most people will 
not be aware of the difference. It makes strong plants which 
resist heat and give an abundance of rich green foliage all 
during the summer and fall. Sends out fresh growth con- 
tinuously after being cut so that a supply of ‘‘greens’’ may 
be had until frost destroys the plants. Both the young 
stem tips and leaves are fleshy and brittle and of the finest 
quality when cooked. Plants are not hardy; they attaina 
spread of 4 ft. when fully grown.

How te Grow 
Spinach 
Spinach is a cool weather crop and may be 
sown very early in the spring, either broad- 
cast or in rows 18 to 24 in. apart; cover the 
seed with 1 in. of soil and thin plants to stand 
5 or 6 in. apart in the rows. Make successive 
sowings until early summer; for fall use, sow 
from Aug. 10 to Sept. 15 and for early spring 
use, south of Pennsylvania, sow in Sept. and 
cover with.a few inches of hay, leaves or litter. 
A pkt. will sow 25 ft. of row; 1 oz. 100 ft.
