SPINACH 
A packet of seed will sow 25 to 30 feet of row; 1 oz. 80 ft.; 12 to 20 lbs. of seed an acre. 
Spinach may be sown very early in the spring. It will be ready for use in four or five weeks 
after sowing. For fall use sow August Ist, and to winter over sow about September lst in 
this latitude, and later further south. 
Spinach runs to seed quickly in hot weather, so the seed should be sown early in the 
spring or late in the summer in order to avoid having the crop mature in July or 
August. If sown about August Ist, spinach will grow large and can be used from the 
first of September until the ground freezes. 
765 SPECIAL SUMMER SAVOY. Long Standing. For home gar- 
ens as well as commercial 
planting this variety is the best of the Long Standing Bloomsdale type. The 
leaves are large, dark green and heavily crumpled or “‘Savoyed,”’ and have a 
heavy texture which makes the finest cooked spinach. 
Special Summer Savoy stands longer in hot weather without going to seed 
than any similar kind and with it you can cut large crops of fine tender spinach 
over a period of several weeks with one sowing. For spring sowing there is no 
better variety. 
Ours is a very good stock, uniform and attractive and for growers who want 
a well crinkled spinach for either home or market, it is unsurpassed.

755 LONG STANDING BLOOMSDALE. Thisis the standard heavily blistered or 
savoyed type which grows quickly but stands a long time without bolting to seed. 
It is very valuable for spring sowing and is also used to plant in the fall for 









Special Summer Savoy Spinach wintering over as it is quite hardy. 
The leaves are very thick dark green and intensely savoyed. We

recommend it most highly for both home and market growers. The 
leaves are very large, somewhat crumpled, dark green, quite tender 
and of excellent quality. This spinach grows fast so that it is ready 
before most other kinds. It is so large in fact, that you can start to 
cut it when it is only about two-thirds grown. 
When fully grown it attains enormous size but still retains its fine 
tender quality. It is a long standing type that does not bolt to seed 
quickly and it will produce fine spinach over a long period of time.

750 BLIGHT-RESISTANT SAVOY. Grow this variety for Fall 
Crops. This fine strain of Norfolk or Bloomsdale Savoy is quite 
resistant to the blight or ‘‘yellows’’ which is destructive in many 
localities especially in the fall. Leaves are well blistered or “Savoyed,” 
thick, dark green and upright in growth, and the yields are very heavy— 
altogether a fine spinach to grow for fall crop. 
Although no spinach of this class will stand a long time when sown 
in the spring, our strain stands without bolting three or four days 
longer than most stocks, and is the most uniform stock of this variety.

762 OLD DOMINION. A Longer Standing Blight Resistant. This 
new spinach is a cross between Blight Resistant Savoy and King of 
Denmark. It has the large dark green crumpled leaf of the Savoy 
and stands up longer than other Blight Resistant kinds. This variety

yields large crops and holds up well when cut. It is a most valuable pease: 
kind for fall, and for spring sowing in places where spinach blights. 758 New Zealand Spinach

Although this is not a true spinach, it is popular for summer “‘greens.”’ 
It will grow during hot dry weather when other spinach would fail 
entirely and will furnish nice “‘greens” all summer. The seed is slow to 
germinate and should be soaked 24 hours before planting.

SWISS CHARD or Spinach Beet 
A packet of seed will sow 15 feet of row; an ounce 50 feet. 
Swiss Chard is really a beet grown for its leaves. The entire leaf may 
be boiled and served as spinach or the midrib cooked alone; either way 
they are excellent. Sown in the spring the leaves are soon ready to eat and 
if cut will continue to grow and produce tender young leaves all summer: 
and fall. If given a little protection it will survive the winter and make 
unusually good greens early in the spring. 
830 FORDHOOK GIANT. The Best Variety. The leaves are

lent boiling greens. The stems are pure white, broad and thick and 
make an unusual vegetable when cooked separately.

high and the leaves are broad, tender and of very attractive light 
green color. The stems are thick and white.
