Bloomsdale Savoy-leaved Spinach 
One ounce of seed will sow about 100 feet of 
drill; 14 to 15 pounds will sow an acre 
From the standpoint of health, there are 
few vegetables more valuable than Spinach. 
Room should be made for it in every garden, 
small or large. It is easy to grow but should 
have a moderately rich, well-dug soil. Start 
the first crop in drills an inch deep and 15 
inches apart as soon as the ground can be 
made ready in the spring, and follow this with 
succession sowings every ten days up to the 
middle of May. Make additional sowings in 
August and September for fall use. Thin the 
plants to stand about 5 inches apart. To 
provide Spinach during hot weather, when 
ordinary varieties do not thrive, make a sow¬ 
ing of the heat-resistant New Zealand Spinach 
about May 1. For extra-early Spinach in the spring, sow one of the hardy 
sorts late in September and protect the plants over winter.
