Long Standing Bloomsdale Dark Green 
780 Long Standing Bloomsdale Dark Green Pit, 10c;)02., 20c;' % 1b., 0c 
(45 days.) This is the finest strain of Long Standing Bloomsdale available. Leaves are excep- 
tionally dark green and the most crumpled or savoyed of any variety. Recommended for early 
spring and main crop planting. 
792 Viking Pkt., 10c; 0z., 20c; % 1b., 50c 
(45 days.) Early, large, dark green, long standing; one of the best for spring sowing as it 
grows very rapidly and gets to cutting size early. It continues to grow a long time, producing 
immense plants without going to seed. It resembles the old Nobel Giant-Leaved. The leaves 
are large and broad, dark green in color, moderately crumpled. “Viking” will produce very 
large crops of fine looking Spinach for canning and freezing. 
793 Virginia Blight-Resistant Savoy Pkt., 10c; 0z., 20c; % Ib., 50c 
(40 days.) Is popular for summer planting for fall maturity. Sometimes used for quick grow- 
ing Spinach for early spring use. The leaves are dark green and crumpled. Recommended for 
planting in August and September. 
789 Old Dominion Pkt., 10c; 0z., 20c; % Ib., 50c 
(40 days.) Improved strain of Virginia Savoy, and in Gur opinion very much superior. It has 
the quick growing qualities of the Virginia Savoy combined with the long-standing charac- 
teristics of the King of Denmark. This is a long standing, blight resistant variety with dark 
green, well crumpled leaves, ideal for planting after August for fall Spinach and wintering over. 
787 New Zealand Pkt., 10c; 0z., 30c; %4 Ib., 75c 
(55 days.) 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 planting.

(50 days.) (All-America Award.) It is the earliest of all Squash. 
In tests by market growers it not only was earlier by several days 
and actually produced twice as many fruits on the first picking as 
the next best kind, but the total yield was greater. They are a 
true straight neck type, with a clear waxy appearance that makes 
them very attractive. Whether you grow for home or market, we

Spinach 
A packet will sow 25 to 30 feet of row; 1 oz. 80. feet; 12 to 20 lbs. per acre when drilled. 
This now famous vegetable may be sown as soon in the spring as the ground is workable. Small 
weekly seedings at successive weekly periods will give you a supply over a longer period. How- 
ever, summer crops from June until mid-August in this latitude are not fully satisfactory. Addi- 
tional seedings may be made after the latter date. 3 to 5 inches is allowed between plants. In our 
vicinity, Spinach to winter over is seeded about September Ist. For Spinach seed treatment use
