SPINACH ^ ^ -- sp 



Spinat, Ger. 



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 up to jSIay 15th, for a succession. For winter and early spring use, sow in September in weU-manured ground; cover with straw 

 on the approach of severe cold weather. The ground cannot be too rich. No Spinach, with the exception of New Zealand will "stand" 

 August heat without "shooting" seed stalks. Water liberally with fine spray or sprinkler after sowing seed. One ounce for 100 feet 

 of drill.

 its pleasant acid flavor and also makes delicious boiled 

 greens. Sow seed in any good garden soil, in shallow 

 drills a foot apart. Thin plants to 6 or 7 inches apart 

 and remove seed stalks as soon as they appear. When 

 ready to gather, select only the largest leaves, thus 

 insuring a continuous supply, one planting will last for 

 3 or 4 years. One ounce for 200 feet of drill.
