Virginia Savoy 
Blight-Resistant. 
(40 days). This distinct variety 
was developed by Dr. H. H. Zim- 
merly at the Virginia Truck Experi- 
ment Station at Norfolk, Virginia, 
and can be grown in “blight” 
(mosaic) infested soils where 
ordinary Spinach cannot be grown. 
Our seed is produced from stock 
seed furnished by the Virginia 
Truck Experiment Station; is almost 
as savoyed as the Norfolk or 
Bloomsdale; just as early, nearly as 
dark in color, and far superior to 
most of the so-called ‘“‘blight-resist- 
ant” strains being offered in the 
trade. Should be planted only in 
the late summer or early fall, as it 
goes to seed quickly when sown in 
the spring. Pkt., 5c; 0z., 10c; 14 Ilb.,
