Spinach-—Bloomsdale Lony Standing 
BLOOMSDALE LONG STANDING—45 DAYS. 
Remains about 8 to 14 days longer in table 
condition than the main crop, Bloomsdale Re- 
selected, is larger and about 5 days later. Re- 
markable in the almost total absence of male 
plants. This selection possesses all the good 
qualities of the famous Bloomsdale Reselected, 
from which it is a plant selection made in Hol- 
land, the habit of remaining longer in shipping 
condition after Bloomsdale shoots to seed, 
which marks it as a very valuable type. 
Bloomsdale Reselected (Dark Green Savoy)—40 
Days. Sometimes called Norfolk Savoy. The 
Landreths introduced and named this general 
type in 1826. Since then it has become a stand- 
ard and now appears in all catalogs in the 
United States and is equally well known in 
Europe. No Spinach is so well known as this 
variety and we are perfectly safe in saying that 
five times as much of this is sold and planted 
in the United States, as any other variety. The 
leaves are twisted, blistered or savoyed, and a 
glossy dark green, giving them an elasticity 
adapting them for transportation over long dis- 
tances. This seed may be sown in the Autumn 
or as early in the Spring as the condition of 
the ground will permit. Spinach, when planted~ 
south of New York City, stands out all Winter 
and during the various open spells throughout 
the Winter can be cut and sent to market as 
a green vegetable; very valuable in this respect. 
Giant Nobel (Giant Thick Leaved)—50 Days. An 
erect, strong growing, long standing sort of the 
Flanders type. Leaves large, unusually broad, 
firm, and thick. Arrow shaped with a rounded 
top. Light green to yellowish green in color, 
smooth and the largest of any Spinach. The 
most desirable of all the Long Standing types 
for those who do not favor a savoy leaf. Slow 
to shoot or bolt to seed. 
King of Denmark—50 Days. An intermediate, 
long-standing, heat resistant variety, hardy, 
vigorous growing, spreading in habit, inclined 
to grow flat on the ground, leaves large, long, 
broad. 
NEW ZEALAND—70 DAYS. Absolutely distinct 
in form, color and habit from other Spinach— 
‘it is not a Spinach, though used as a Spinach. 
Foliage thick, succulent, dark green, never sun- 
burns, a true heat resistant, leaves covered with 
water globules like an ice-plant. Later to ma- 
_ ture for table than Spinach of usual form, but 
_ remaining in edible condition ten times as long. 
. Plants remain in edible condition from July un- 
til killed by frost. A sort to “cut and come 
again.” One of our Bloomsdale Farm Special- 
ties. ; 
LANDRETH-GROWN TOMATO SEED IS SUPERIOR 
Old Dominion(Blight Resistant) —45 Days. A long 
Standing Blight Resistant Savoy which has the 
long standing qualities of the King of Denmark, 
and is as dark green as the Bloomsdale types. 
Leaves well savoyed and well rounded as the 
other varieties of Bloomsdale. It is quite an 
improvement over the Virginia Blight Resistant 
Savoy. 
Summer Savoy—48 Days. “All-America” Bronze 
Medal 1937. Is a new type of Long Standing 
Bloomsdale.Savoy. Is later by about three days 
than Bloomsdale Long Standing Savoy but 
stands. about one week longer before bolting. 
Leaves are more crumpled or blistered than 
Long Standing Bloomsdale and darker green 
than Bloomsdale Long Standing.
