SPINACH—(Continued) 

i LONG STANDING BLOOMSDALE SPINACH 
LONG STANDING BLOOMSDALE 
A strain of Norfolk or Bloomsdale Savoy that has rapidly become the most 
popular Spinach grown. The leaves are very large, thick and heavy, deep 
green in color, very much crumpled and of the best quality. On account of the 
large size of the leaves it will practically double the vield of the older kinds. 
NEW ZEALAND 
Although not a true Spinach, the leaves resemble Spinach and are very useful 
for greens. The plants will thrive on soil too poor to produce Spinach success- 
fully. The small fleshy dark green leaves can be picked repeatedly throughout 
the season as the plant continues to put out new shoots until frost. Seed 
should be soaked in warm water a few hours before planting. Sow from May 
1st to July 1st at a depth of 14 inch. Due to spreading habit of plant thin to 
stand 2 feet apart. 
OLD DOMINION, Long Standing Blight Resistant 
This new Spinach is a cross between Blight Resistant Savoy and King of 
Denmark. It combines the large dark green crumpled leaf of the Savoy with 
the long standing ability of King of Denmark. A valuable variety for sec- 
tions where blight is prevalent. Also.a good shipper as it stands well when cut. 
VIKING (See Photo Page 46) 
The best of the smooth leaved varieties, excellent for spring sowing, grows 
rapidly and stands longer without bolting. Closely resembles Giant Thick 
leaf but leaves are darker and more blistered.
