623 Bloomsdale Long Standing ¥ 
America’s favorite spinach (45 days) 
The remarkable long standing qualities of the strain make it one of the best 
for home garden use as well as for canning. It has an exceptionally large 
plant, with glossy, dark green, intensely crinkled, blistered, and very thick 
leaves. Best adapted to spring sowing, but also good in the fall. The plants 
develop slower than some other strains. This slowness of growth is their 
chief virtue in warm weather. Pkt. 10¢; oz. 20¢; 14 Ib. 70¢; 14 Ib. $1.25. 
618 Summer Savoy ¥ 
Resists hot weather (46 days) 
A recent selection of the Bloomsdale type, remarkable for its ability to 
stand without forming seed stalks. Plants very low growing, heavily 
savoyed, with extra thick, dark green leaves. For early spring and fall sowing 
Bloomsdale Long Standing cannot be surpassed, but for summer cutting this 
variety seems to give the best results. Pkt. 10¢; oz. 25¢; 4 1b. 75¢; 1 Ib. $1.25. 
622 New Zealand 
Grows everywhere, perfectly heat and drouth tolerant (70 days) 
e 
This variety thrives under adverse conditions. It grows freely in heat and drouth, 
produces heavily all through the summer, and only the most energetic cutting 
will prevent the plants from spreading 4 ft. across by the time frost kills them. 
Not the same family as ordinary spinach, it equals it in flavor, succulence, and 
.tenderness. A sure crop, and a delicious one.
