Days Main Uses yar a Spinach, Squash 105 
35 HMSCF (Blue Mold and Blight Resistant) EARLY HYBRID NO. 7 
The first commercially important hybrid spinach, developed by Dr. H. A. Jones of the 
USDA. The seed parent for this cross is a combination of the lines 99 and 95, the pollen 
parent is Virginia Savoy. The variety’s outstanding features are 75% resistance to blue 
mold, resistance to blight, its quick, vigorous growth, and heavy production averaging 
about 25% better than Virginia Savoy. Like the latter, it bolts quickly and is recom- 
mended only for fall planting. Round seed. (Picture on opposite page.) 
PLANTS—Very upright, holding leaves well off the ground and thereby well adapted 
for harvesting with a mechanical greens cutter. 
LEAVES—Variable in shape and texture, smooth to semi-savoy, heavy, dark green, of 
fine quality. 
35 HMSCF (Blight Resistant) EARLY HYBRID NO. 10 
A sister line, very similar to Early Hybrid No. 7, but perhaps not quite as resistant to 
blue mold. First year trials of the two indicate some differences in type (No. 10 may be 
more savoyed), but accurate comparisons will have to await further commercial test- 
ing.
