Espinard, FR. SPIN A CH Sune 
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 May 15th, 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. 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.
