schiessender spinat, A. de CI. 
A strain of the Lettuce-Leaved spinach of recent introduction and 
running to seed later than any other sort. It forms low, compact 
tufts, with numerous deep green leaves, which are rather less rounded 
and more blistered than those of the Lettuce-Leaved; petioles very 
short. 
The plant does not develop very rapidly in early spring, but its 
superiority is noticeable in the summer months, when it continues to 
produce tender leaves when other sorts have run to flower.

No. 5. NOEFOLK SAVOY-LEAVED, Hen. 
Syn. Henderson's Norfolk Savoy-Leaved, Hen., '85, '87. 
An improved strain of the Savoy-Leaved, being much more vigorous 
than the old variety, without losing any of its hardiness. It closely 
resembles Bloomsdale, but in our trials with spring sown seed it ran 
to seed considerably earlier than that sort. 
Eecommended only for fall sowing, for which purpose it is one of 
the best.

Espinafre de semente redonda, Vil. 
A hardy, large, vigorous variety, rather distinctly hastate, with 
leaves which are somewhat blistered, and clear green in color. 
This variety is sufficiently hardy to endure the winter, and is grown 
both as a summer and a winter spinach. 
The Lettuce-Leaved has frequently been sold for this variety.
