VARIETAL DESCRIPTIONS OF VEGETABLES 4 KEYSTONE SEEDS 
SPINACH 
Spinacia oleracea—var. inermis 
There are few kinds of seeds produced that require as much care in the production and 
maintenance of the various strains as does Spinach. Even the location of the seed growing area 
must be carefully chosen for reason of influencing the true characteristics of strains. 
Our strains are all carefully selected and trial ground tested. Spinach is another of our specialties 
and we solicit any inquiries for information or suggestions for varieties to use, or cultural practices. 
For those inierested in the freezing preservation of Spinach, it may be covered generally by 
saying that all curly types are adapted and many of the smoother leaved sorts.

BLOOMSDALE SAVOY RESELECTED (Round Seeded) SALLY “40 
The leading spinach. Used in tremendous volume. Early, and one of the most valuable 
for home and market gardeners, shippers, and canners. Recommended for fall and 
spring planting. 
PLANTS—Vigorous, rapid grower, upright, compact, and very hardy. Leaves hold up 
well off of soil. 
LEAVES—Medium large, beautifully savoyed and crumpled, rounded; very thick, rich 
deep glossy green, of excellent quality. 
BLOOMSDALE DARK GREEN No. 5 (Round Seeded) SOUTH 4| 
Similar to Bloomsdale Reselected except darker green in color and therefore used by 
many canners and shippers as it holds a fresher appearing green color after processing 
and shipping. One day later in season than Reselected. Ours is a very select strain 
and the best we have ever seen. All America Selection B. M. 1937. 
BLOOMSDALE, BLIGHT RESISTANT—See description under Virginia Savoy. 
BLOOMSDALE LONG STANDING (Round Seeded) SABAT 45 
A decided improvement over the old Bloomsdale Savoy for late spring or summer crop. 
A few days later, but will stand from 10 to 14 days longer without bolting seeders. 
Summer Savoy is a long standing type selected from this variety and similar. 
PLANTS—Very attractive, vigorous grower, quite compact, erect, and thrifty. 
LEAVES—Medium large, heavily savoyed and crumpled, rounded tip, very thick and 
tender, rich deep glossy green, of excellent quality.
