SPINACH—(Continued) 

LONG STANDING BLOOMSDALE SPINACH 
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 
Ist to July 1st at a depth of 4 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 47) ‘ 
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. 
VIRGINIA BLIGHT RESISTANT 
A Savoy-leaved type, developed at the Virginia Experiment Station for 
blight resistance. Upstanding, vigorous plants but seeds rather early. Rec- 
ommended for planting in blight infested soil. Resistant also to mosaic.
