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



inches in 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 V, inch long, boiled until 



tender, and then served with drawn butter, in which 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 eas.v 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 ground'the more delicate 

 and succulent will be the leaves. 



Light applicationsof nitrate of soda have often a magic effect on 

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

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

 and further protected by mats during severe freezing weather.
