Bloomsdale Savoy, Long Standing: A favorite variety Days HOLLANDIA (Giant Prickly Winter: Dark Green), 43 More attractive and productive than the old Prickly Winter, it is highly desirable for market gardeners and canners. The leaves are large, broad, arrow-shaped, and dark green. Used extensively in California. KING OF DENMARK, 46 An exceptionally long standing sort, highly desirable for canning, and for market gardens. The large, spreading plants carry broad, rounded, very dark green leaves, which are somewhat crumpled. Excellent for spring plant- ing as seed stalks are slow in forming. New Zealand, Tetragonia expansa 70 Not a true spinach, though similar when cooked. Native of New Zealand, quite distinct in habit of growth; thrives in hot, dry weather. The large, spreading plants have small, thick, pointed, deep green leaves, which can be picked repeatedly throughout the season. Seeds are large and hard-horned; should be steeped, and planted only in warm soil. Old Dominion, 40 A poular variety in Texas, resistant to mosaic and of long standing character. Plant similar to the Savoy but leaves somewhat more pointed. Perpetual Spinach See Swiss Chard, Common Green, page 22. Viking, 45 Introduced by Sluis en Groot: All-America Silver Medal for 1935. A darker leaved selection from Nobel. Excellent for market gardens and canning. Plant large, spreading, vigorous, long standing and heavily productive. Leaves very large, thick, medium dark green. Heavy Pack is a good strain of Viking. Plants are strong and vigorous, with large medium green, slightly crumpled, thick leaves on short stalks. Color intermediate between Nobel and King of Denmark.
