 Culture. Sow as early .ns the ground can be worked in the Spring, in drills 12 inches apart, 1 inch deep, and thin out to 6 

 inches to the row. Keep them free from weeds. Cultivate the same as carrots and parsnips. A part of the crop may be left 

 in the ground till spring, when it will be found fresh and plump. The roots are cut into pieces 5^ inch long, boiled until 

 tender, and then served vnih drawn butter, in vphich way it is a delicious' vegetable. They are also mashed and baked like 

 parsnips, and have a sweet agreeable flavor. Mashed and fried, the flavor is much like that of the oyster. Sow 8 to 10 pounds 

 to the acre. One ounce to 50 feet of drill.

Culture. .Spinach is an important market gardener's crop of easy culture. For spring and summer use sow in drills 1 foot apart and 1 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 groiuid the more delicate 

 and succulent will be the leaves. 



Light applications of nitrate of soda have often a magic effect on 

 Spinach. Spinach is sometimes forced by sowing in early Septem- 

 ber in frames, over which a sash is placed during February and 

 March, and further protected by mats during severe freezing weather. 

 1000. Long Season Spinach. This new variety is especially 

 adapted for Summer Sowing as it remains in perfect condition a
