SPINACH FOR GREENS” 
Culture You can find no better vegetable to furnish an early supply 
WUl&Hl c of “greens" than Spinach. As “greens" its quality is un¬ 
surpassed, and were it more generally known in the Southern States al¬ 
most every one would plant it. Our specially grown spinach is far supe¬ 
rior to the spinach seed commonly sold. Its germination is stronger and 
better, the growth larger, more vigorous, and hardier. Spinach requires 
rich soil, the richer the better, and can be sown during October, November 
and December, while the ground is not frozen. It germinates freely in 
cold weather and is a rapid grower. Sow one ounce to 100 feet of row.
