Semi-savoy spinach. Dark green leaves are glossy and have medium blistering. Leaves are semi-erect and have short petioles with red at the base. Leaves range in shape from elliptic to orbicular and are cupped out at the edge. Good taste qualities. Acquired by SSE from the Halifax Seed Company of Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada. A variety by this name does date to at least the 1930s in the U.S., but it is unclear whether this accession is that same variety. SSE Accession # 119617
