Spinach Seed for 1948 
We are pleased to announce that Holland has had good spinach seed crops this past year, and we 
can again supply the fine strains of imported seed which were so outstanding before the war. All 
these stocks have been carefully checked here on our farm and have proved to be well up to pre- 
war standards of quality. Our strains for 1948 are far superior to most spinach, either domestic or 
imported, offered today and we unhesitatingly recommend them to our customers. 

SPECIAL SUMMER SAVOY 
755 Long Standing Bloomsdale 
This year we offer an excellent large-growing 
strain of this famous variety which we rec- 
ommend especially for early spring plantings. 
It has a faster growth and a broader frame than 
Special Summer Savoy and can be cut sooner. 
It stands without bolting almost as long and 
the big, deep green, well crumpled leaves 
“bushel up”’ fast. This is a beautiful true stock 
of vigorous, attractive spinach and will give 
satisfaction wherever used. See prices below. 
768 Viking 
This early, large-leaved spinach grows rapidly 
and gets to cutting size early, yet will stand 
without going to seed for a long time. It is a 
flatter leaf type than the Savoys, with big, 
broad, dark green leaves and produces immense 
crops of fine-looking spinach. Widely grown for 
canning and commercial use. See prices below. 
765 Special Summer Savoy | 
Extra Selected—Long Standing 
We highly recommend this remarkable 
strain as the best long-standing spinach 
to be had. Every plant is of the true 
type with large beautifully crumpled 
or “‘Savoyed” leaves; the color is a 
very attractive deep green and the 
spinach stands a long time even in hot 
weather without bolting to seed. 
Growers find that the yield per acre is 
consistently heavy. 
This is the best kind for spring sow- 
ing and is also used for late fall sowing 
for spring crop as it is very hardy. 
We urge our customers to plant this 
extra fine stock of imported spinach 
seed, for it is the most profitable kind 
to grow. See prices below. 
750 Blight Resistant Savoy 
Best for Fall Crops 
We have an exceptionally good stock of this 
popular variety. It is the true Virginia Strain, 
practically 100% resistant to blight and can be 
depended on to produce large crops in the fall 
where other varieties blight and fail entirely. 
The type is excellent with dark green well 
crumpled leaves and the yields are very heavy. 
Blight Resistant Savoy does not stand as 
well as some other kinds in the spring, although 
our strain will stand three to four days longer 
than most strains of this variety. See prices 
below. 
ARASAN is the best seed treatment for 
spinach. See page 48.
