Bloomsdale Savoy, Long Standing: popular for spring sowing Days â HOLLANDIA (GIANT PRICKLY WINTER: DARK GREEN), p.s 43 More attractive and productive than the old Prickly Winter, it is highly desirable for canners. The leaves are large, broad, arrow-shaped, and dark green. Used extensively in California. â KING OF DENMARK, s.s 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 planting as seed stalks are slow in forming. â OLD DOMINION, s.s 40 A popular variety in Texas, resistant to mosaic and of long-standing char- acter. Plant similar to the Savoy but leaves somewhat more pointed. â VIKING, s.s 45 A darker leaved selection from Nobel. Excellent for canning. Plant large, spreading, vigorous, long standing and heavily productive. Leaves very large, thick, medium dark green. Heavy Pack is a good type 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. â VIRGINIA SAVOY (Blight Resistant), s.s 39 Bred at the Virginia Experiment Station for mosaic resistance. Upstand- ing, vigorous plants; seeding rather early; highly desirable for planting in infested soil. Leaves somewhat smoother than other strains of Savoy. â VIROFLAY, s.s 45 An old extremely large, mid-season, vigorous growing variety, with long, broad, pointed, thick, smooth leaves of deep green color. Giant Nobel is now generally preferred in this class. Tempo is an improved Viroflay: hardy, darker, heavier yielding and a week earlier. â Suitable for quick freezing.
