Special Summer Savoy Spinach 
Long Standing—The Best for Home or Market 
768 VIKING. Early, Large, Dark Green, Long Standing. This 
is the heaviest yielding variety we know and 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 
guickly and it will produce fine spinach over a long period of time. 
Home gardeners like Viking because its big leaves are easier to wash 
than the heavily savoyed type. 
Pkt. 10c; Oz. 20c; 44 Lb. 45c. 
750 BLIGHT-RESISTANT SAVOY. Grow this variety for Fall 
Crops. Fall spinach crops are very likely to get blight or “‘yellows”’ un- 
less resistant strains are used. This is the best resistant savoy-leaf 
type and should be sown for all fall crops. The growth is rapid and 
vigorous, giving heavy yields, and the leaves are upright, very dark 
green and heavily crumpled. We offer an exceptionally fine strain.

762 OLD DOMINION. A Longer Standing Blight Resistant. Well 
crumpled leaves and will stand without bolting much longer than other 
resistant strains. [tis a heavy yielder, and is very valuable for late fall 
or early spring sowing in places where spinach blights. 
Pkt. 10c; Oz. 20c; 44 Lb. 40c. 
PERENNIAL SPINACH. Produces an abundance of small spinach-like 
leaves and will last for years. Excellent for greens in the spring. Plants 
only. See page 75. 
Fordhook Giant Swiss Chard 


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, and succession plantings can be made every 
two weeks until summer. 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 Ist in this latitude, and later 
Spinach runs to seed quickly in hot weather, so the seed should be sown fairly 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 gardens 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 holds up very 
well for market and also 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. For spring sowing there is no better variely. 
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. 
Pkt. 10c; Oz. 20c; 14 Lb. 40c. 
755 LONG STANDING BLOOMSDALE. This is 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 wintering 
over as it is quite hardy. The leaves are very thick dark green and intensely savoyed. 
We recommend it highly for home and market growers.

Viking Spinach—targe tender leaves. 
758 New Zealand Spinach 
Not a true spinach but an excellent variety to grow for summer greens 
as it thrives in hot dry weather. The plants are very large and spreading 
and branch freely, producing great quantities of small thick fleshy leaves. 
Pick off the tender new leaves at the tips of the branches, and the plants 
will continue to develop succulent new growth all summer and fall. 
The seed is slow to germinate and should be soaked 24 hours before 
plantings. Pkt. 10c; Oz. 25c; 144 Lb. 55c. 
SWISS CHARD 
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 it is 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.

reen, very large, much curled or
