The Cultivation of Spinach. — Sow Round Spinach in succession from April to June, and Prickly or Winter Spinach 
during August and September to stand the winter. These plants' should be well mulched and protected from the first 
approach of severe weather. Sow New Zealand Spinach in March in heat and transplant about the end of May, setting the 
plants about 3 feet apart. This seed should be well soaked in hot water before sowing. One ounce of ordinary spinach 
seed will plant 100 feet of drill; 12 pounds to the acre in drills. One ounce of New Zealand spinach wall plant 50 feet of 
drill.
