SUPERIOR VEGETABLE SEEDS
J. MANNS & CO., Forrest and Hillen Sts., Baltimore, Md.
.31.
Holland Field of Early Long: Standine Savoy for Seed
Manns* Early Long Standing Savoy J^^^J;
early as reselected savoy but has the very valuable advantage
of standing in perfect condition, without bolting to seed, 10
to 14 days longer than other varieties. This feature is worth
thousands of dollars to spinach growers, for with this variety
it is possible to market the crop when it is convenient and
advantageous for the grower to do so. Many severe losses
have been incurred because cutters were not available, weather
conditions unfavorable, or prices were too low, but Early Long
Standing will wait for cutters, for weather, and for prices.
LiOnO Season ^^""y successfully grown for supplying
^ local markets during warm weather when
other varieties have gone to seed. The beautiful large plants
are in prime condition in about 50 days and remain market-
able for 15 to 20 days. Somewhat earlier than Juliana and
producing extremely dark glossy green leaves, thoroughly
savoyed, thick and firm in texture.
Princess Juliana Greatly resembling savoy as the
picture opposite will show; much
slower in growth, however, and very late in going to seed.
The ideal variety for late spring sowing, as it thrives well
in warm weather and is in great demand as long as the
weather permits shipping.
Giant Smooth Leaf erf J'^f ™°^^p°p^^^^ ^^"^ty in
Holland for home use and
largely used by Western packers of fancy canned goods because
of its excellent quality and very dark green color. The flat,
extremely heavy leaves do not ship well but are ideal for the
grower who contracts by weight.
Southland Summer New special strain of Swiss
Chard more closely resembling
real spinach, producing large heavily crumpled leaves of a
bright green color. Will eventually replace New Zealand.
New Zealand (TETRAGONIA EXPANSA) Not related
to regulai spinaches but forming larger
spreading plants producing fleshy brittle tips and leaves which
are used as spinach. Of delightful flavor and practically cver-
beanng. '
