ordinary Spinach during the hottest months or in dry sections 
where Spinach does not do well. Plant several seeds in hills two 
feet apart each way. As seed coat is hard, better growth is 
secured by soaking seed for twenty-four hours in warm water.

SALSIFY

One of the most desirable winter vegetables. The roots when

Salsify succeeds best in light, well enriched soil, which should be 
worked to a good depth. Coarse or fresh manure should be 
avoided as this will cause the roots to branch. Sow seed early 
in the spring in rows 12 to 15 inches apart, thinning four inches 
in the row.
