SPINACH 
One ounce will sow 
50 feet of drill 
First sowings should be made as soon as the ground is open in spring. Sow 
seed Jinch deep in drills 1 foot apart and every two weeks thereafter for suc¬ 
cession. Sowings made during September usually grow large enough to winter 
over and with little protection afford Spinach very early the following spring. A 
rich soil is essential to obtain best results.

without bolting to seed as well as any variety we know. Pkt. 5 cts., oz. 10 cts., Klb. 20 cts., lb. 60 cts.
