SPINACH — Continued 
HEAVY PACK 45 
Plants are large and spreading; leading canning variety because of heavy 
yield. Leaves very large, broad, arrow shaped with rounded tip, thickest 
of all large leaved varieties, dark green, partially crumpled. 
KING OF DENMARK 44 
The best long season spinach, remaining two weeks longer than others 
before bolting to seed. Plant vigorous and spreading; leaves large, round- 
ed, crumpled and blistered, deep green in color. 
NEW ZEALAND 
This branching plant—a spinach in its use but not in its growth — 
frost-kills but grows luxuriantly in the summer heat. Plant these large 
seeds three in a hill, 3 x 2 feet apart or start the plant under glass and 
transplant. 
OLD DOMINION (BLIGHT RESISTANT) 40 
A cross between Virginia Blight-Resistant Savoy and King of Denmark. 
Large, dark green, heavily crumpled leaves. Long standing and resistant 
to mosaic. Used mostly for an early spring crop. 
PRICKLY WINTER 43 
A very hardy variety and will withstand the severest weather with only a 
slight protection of leaves or straw. The seed is prickly; leaves triangular, 
oblong or arrow shaped. It is used extensively for fall sowing. 
SAVOY LEAVED BLOOMSDALE 39 
One of the best to plant in autumn for early spring use. Plant of up- 
right growth with narrow, pointed leaves, which are curled like those of 
the Savoy Cabbage. It grows quickly to suitable size for use but soon 
runs to seed. 
SAVOY BLOOMSDALE BLIGHT RESISTANT (VIRGINIA SAVOY) 39 
Used principally in sections where blight occurs. Similar to Savoy 
Leaved or Bloomsdale but somewhat smoother in leaf and, inclined to bolt 
to seed earlier. 
SAVOY BLOOMSDALE LONG STANDING 42 
Similar to the older type but with a thicker, more round and lighter col- 
ored leat. Very slow to bolt to seed. 
VIKING 44 
This variety is excellent for market gardens and canning. Plant large, 
spreading, vigorous, long standing and heavily productive. Leaves very 
large, thick, dark green. 
VIROFLAY OR THICK LEAF 43 
Grows very rapidly forming a cluster of large, very thick, slightly wrinkled 
leaves of fine color and quality. Recommended for market gardeners.
