BREEDERS AND GROWERS 77 SPINACH The time from planting to cutting of marketable plants varies considerably with the season of the year in which sowings are made. The accompanying schedule applies to spring planting in the Northern States. Spinach was developed from a wild plant in Western Asia. Days from sow- ing to cutting Blight Resistant Savoy (Virginia Savoy) 39 A Savoy-leaved sort, bred at the Virginia Experiment Station for blight resistance. Upstanding, vigorous plants, seeding rather early; highly desirable for planting in infested soil. Resistant also to Section of Trial Rows of Spinach Bloomsdale Savoy 39 A first early, vigorous variety, desirable for local gardens, for shipping to distant markets, and for canning. Plants erect in growth, hardy and attractive. Leaves large, crumpled, somewhat blistered; dark glossy green. Seeds fairly early. BLOOMSDALE SAVOY, LONG STANDING 42 Only a few days later than the regular Bloomsdale Savoy, it holds twelve to fourteen days longer before throwing seed stalks. Plants are very uniform and sturdy, with very attractive, highly crumpled and blistered dark green leaves. Exceptionally valuable for home and market gardens, and for shipping from the extreme South. GIANT NOBEL or GIANT THICK LEAVED 45 A recent European introduction of high merit. Very valuable for market gardens and canning. Plants large, vigorous, and spreading. It is slow to form seed stalks, and an extremely heavy yielder. Leaves very large, thick, smooth, pointed, with rounded tip; deep green, tender. The best of the Giant Thick Leaved sorts. Juliana 48 A splendid, second early, long standing sort, for home gardens and for shipping. Plants compact and dense, growing close to the ground. Leaves rounded, with short stems; thick, crumpled, very dark green; slow in producing seed stalks. KING OF DENMARK
