SPINACH 



One ounce for 100 feet of drill. 10 to 15 pounds in drills for an acre. 



This is an important market gardener's crop, of easy culture. For spring 

 and summer use, sow either broadcast or in drills, one foot apart and one 

 inch deep, as early as the ground can be worked, and every two weeks for 

 a succession. For winter and early spring use, sow in September, in well- 

 manured ground; cover with straw on the approach of severe cold weather. 

 The ground cannot be too rich; the stronger the ground the more delicate 

 and succulent will be the leaves.

 sort, the Bloomsdale Savoy Spinach, yet much more vigorous in growth, 

 larger and very handsome. It stands the hot summer heat, and yet has 

 tender succulent leaves and intense dark green color — is bound to make 

 this Spinach a leader. It is positively the best Spinach to be grown in.the 

 spring and summer. All who tried it last year are asking for more for the 

 coming season. Packets, 5 and 10 cents; l / 2 pound, 15 cents; 1 pound, 25 

 cents; 25 pounds, $5.00.
