SUPERIOR VEGETABLE SEEDS J. MANNS & CO., Forrest and Hillen Sts., Baltimore, Md. 29 



SPINACH 



1 oz. to 100 ft. of drill; 12 to 15 lbs. per acre. 



One of the most staple vegetables of the Ameri- 

 can table, possessing highly valuable and health 

 giving qualities; easily grown, requiring but little 

 attention and in sections where the soil is rich, very 

 profitable crops are produced. 



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 started 

 thin out to 4 to 6 inches apart, or sow the seed 

 thinly and allow all the plants to stand. 



For winter and early spring use, sow either in 

 drills or 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.
