One ounce will sow one hundred feet of drill; ten pounds will sow an acre. An exceedingly rich, 
well-worked soil is necessary. Sow thinly in drills one foot apart and half an inch deep. When the 
young ])lants are established, thin out to the distance of three or four inches in the row, and in a future 
thinning every alternate plant may be removed, as spinach does not do well when crowded.

. An ounce will produce fifteen hundred plants; four ounces will produce enough for one acre. They 
do best on a light, warm not over-rich soil; and success depends to a very great extent on securing a 
rapid, vigorous, unchecked growth the early part of the season. Transplant as soon as the plants are 
fit to handle, into' shallow boxes, setting them four or five inches apart. When strong and stocky, set 
out in hills four feet apart. By training the vines on trellises or other supports, they will be more pro- 
ductive, and the fruit will be of much better quality.
