SPINACH 



This IS quite an important crop with market gardeners, and 

 one easily managed. For summer use. sow early in spring, in 

 drills eight inches to one foot apart, covering the seed one inch 

 deep. Select rich soil and manure liberally. A succession may 

 be obtained by sowing at intervals of two weeks through the 

 season. For very, early spring sow in August, and protect the 

 plants through the winter by a thick covering of clean straw 

 or some other similar light covering. Spinach is used principally 

 as greens for boiling, and is very highly esteemed for this 

 purpose.
