Bloomsdale
(Long Standing). In appearance quite similar to Reselected Bloomsdale Savoy, may be of a little more compact growth. The leaves being more intensively green. Does not grow. The leaves being more intensively green. Does not grow as quickly as Bloomsdale Savoy and will stand a week to 10 days longer before bolting to seed.

Broad Flanders
One of the most vigorous and strong growing varieties. The leaves are nearly round, uniformly deep green, thick and somewhat crimped in the center. A very desirable sort, similar to but maturing a little earlier than Victoria.

Dark Green Bloomsdale
(Savoy leaved). An improvement over Reselected Bloomsdale in that it is darker green, more crumpled and blistered, and is almost as early as the Reselected Bloomsdale, maturing only about 2 or 3 days later. Due to the reduced proportion of early bolting male plants, it is slower in running to seed than Reselected Bloomsdale.

Giant Smooth Leaved
(Nobel). By far the best round seeded leaved spinach. Ideal for the market gardener and canner. Leaves are of enormous size, almost smooth, rounded and thick, and of a deep green color. It is a quick grower, and as it has remarkably few male plants, it stands very long. Really an outstanding variety and a great improvement over Monstrous Viroflay and Broad Leaved Flanders.

Giant Thick Leaved
(Gaudry). The most outstanding of the thick leaved varieties. It grows rapidly and remains a long time in prime condition. Our seed produces the largest spinach plants under cultivation. The leaves are rounded, large, slightly crumpled, succulent and tender. They are medium green and very uniform. An excellent sort for the home garden.

Hollandia
(Prickly Seeded). The best of all prickly seeded varieties, and ideal for canning. Produces giant leaves of a deep green color. Practically free of the early bolting male plants, consequently standing extremely long.

Juliana
A variety from which the small leaved early bolting plants have been virtually eliminated. The leaves are medium in size, much blistered or savoyed and rich deep green in color. They have short stems and the plants make a very compact growth. This variety is somewhat slower growing than others and is very long standing. It is ideal to plant for succession with one of the earlier varieties.

King of Denmark
Also known as “Antvorskov”. Although the plants are ready for use almost as soon as the medium early sorts they remain in good condition from a week to 2 weeks after all other varieties have gone to seed. The plants are of rapid growth, resemble the Long Season in type but leaves are more crumpled or blistered and are of darker green color. The leaves are thick, stand well after cutting and are of good quality. One of the leading sorts for both the home and market gardener.

New Zealand
(Tetrgonia expansa). Unlike true spinach in type and in that it thrives during hot weather and in any soil rich or poor. The tender shoots are of good quality and may be cut throughout the Summer. The plant becomes very large and spreading. The leaves are comparatively small, broad and pointed. Plants 3 or 4 seeds in hills 2 feet apart each way. Germination of the seed can be hastened by soaking in warm water 24 hours.

Round, Thick Leaved
A rapid growing variety producing early in the season a mass of rather smooth, thick, rounded leaves of very large size. It stands well without bolting, yields a greater bulk than other varieties and is highly recommended for both the home and market garden. Because of the greater tonnage produced and the smoothness of the leaves which makes washing easy, this variety is also unequaled for canning. Seed round.
