SPINACH 
1 oz. to 100 ft. of drill; 12 to 15 Ibs. per acre. 
Select a rich piece of ground, the richer the better; and 
for late spring and early summer use, sow the seed during 
February, March and April in drills one foot to 20 inches 
apart, one-half to one inch deep. When the plants are well 
oll started, thin out to 4 to 6 inches apart, or sow the seed thinly 
yen and allow all the plants to stand. 
i For winter and early spring use, sow either in drills or 
Hen ate broadcast during August, September and October. A top 
dressing of Nitrate of Soda will make a vast improvement in 
the earliness, size and quality of the crop. 
Old Dominion Developed at the Virginia Experimental 
Station as a later seeding yellows 
resistant variety by crossing King of Denmark and Virginia 
Savoy. The plants are large, dark green, heavily crumpled 
and fast growing. It is one of the most hardy varieties for 
wintering over and therefore is well suited for either an 
early fall crop or for fall sowing to be cut in early spring. 
Manns’ Presto Savoy A prickly seeded variety pos- 
sessing outstanding merits 
over the round seeded Bloomsdale, which it resembles identi- 
cally. Presto is the earliest and quickest growing sort of 
spinach. It is much hardier than any other variety and will 
stand cold and unfavorable weather conditions better than 
round seeded sorts.
