Culture: — Thrives best in richest soil possible. For summer use sow early in spring in drills i foot apart and 
an inch deep, pressing soil down firmly. For early spring, sow in August or September, covering the bed lightly 
during winter with straw. A succession may be obtained by sowing at intervals of 2 weeks throughout the 
season. Spinach matures in from 40 to 50 days. An ounce to 100 feet of drill. Ten pounds to the acre.
