SPINACH 



Pkts. 5c each; Vi lb. 20c/ lb. 50c 



Plant breeders have improved spinach so much 

 that varieties now grown are larger in leaf, more 

 succulent, and remain in prime condition a much 

 longer time. 



Sow in rows 16 to 20 inches apart and thin to 

 6 inches apart in the row when leaves are an inch 

 wide. In the North, seed can be planted as soon as 

 the ground can be prepared. In the South, spinach 

 will winter over with little or no protection.
