CULTURE— The soil should be rich, 
mellow and deep, manure having been 
applied the previous year. Never use 
manure in spring. Sow as early as the 
ground can be worked, in drills about 
one inch deep and in rows about sUteen 
to eighteen inches apart, pressing the 
soil firmly over the seed. When the 
young plants are two to three inches 
high thin out to from 4 to 6 inches, 
according to size of variety, keeping in 
mind that medium-sized, good-colored 
roots are best. The thinnings make the 
best of Spinach. For winter use. the 
Turnip varieties may be sown the first 
week in June, and in October the roots 
can be stored in a cellar, and covered 
with sand to prevent shrivelling. 
One ounce will sow about 75 feet of 
drill; five pounds to an acre.
