SPINACH 
-Fr. EPINARD 
One oimce for 100 feet of drill; 10 to 12 lbs. in drills for an acre. 
CULTURE — Spinach is an important market gardener's crop of easy 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 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. The stronger the ground the more 
delicate and succulent will be the leaves. The New Zealand Spinach, which requires more room, as it makes 
a large and spreading plant, may be started from seed early in spring to give greens during the heat of summer. 
Light applications of nitrate of soda have often a magic effect on Spinach.
