SPINACH 
The most important greens crop. It is very 
hardy and will stand considerable freezing weather, 
but many varieties run to seed rapidly in hot 
weather. It is of easy culture and by successional 
sowing a supply may be secured throughout the 
season. For early spring use sow in late September 
and protect with hay or straw through the winter. 
May be sown in spring as early as the ground can 
be worked, either in rows or broadcast. Summer 
sowings should be on freshly plowed ground and 
the soil packed hard about the seed, as the seed 
will not germinate in dry soil.

NEW ZEALAND A plant used like Spinach, 
but entirely different. It flourishes in 
almost any soil and grows most rapidly 
during hot weather. It is of a running 
and branching nature and continues to 
grow after cutting, thus producing a 
supply of greens throughout the season. 
Only the tender tips of the branches 
should be used. The seed is very hard- 
shelled and should be soaked in warm 
water several hours before planting. 
Oz. Pkt. 10c; 34 lb. 25c; Lb. 65c.
