SPINACH. (Spinat.) 



Crop can be had in good condition from very early in the spring until 

 cold weather sets in; sow as early in the spring as the ground can be 

 worked, and continue sowing at inrervals for a succession. The main 

 crop is sown in September for winter and spring use; on the approach 

 of cold weather it is advisable to cover with litter or light manure to 

 prevent continued thawing and freezing with the changes of weather, 

 by which the stalks are gradually drawn out by the roots and destroy- 

 ed Spinach can either be sown broadcast or in drills twelve inches 

 apart. Very rich soil is necessary.
