Spinach 
Has long- been one of the most popular of all 
greens for market gardeners and truck growers and 
in some sections is grown in enormous quantities. In 
this locality Spinach is sown broadcast in March or 
April for early crop and from July to September for 
fall and winter crop at the rate of about 10 to 15 lbs., 
per acre. It can also be sown in drills 12 to 15 inches 
apart and cultivated. 
One ounce sows 100 ft. of drill. 10 to 15 lbs. per 
acre in drills. 15 to 20 lbs. per acre, broadcast. One- 
half pound is sufficient for a medium garden. 
310 KING OF DENMARK. The New Evergreen 
Spinach. This variety is superior to all others for 
spring planting, under the same circumstances, in 
the matter of standing a longer time before going 
to seed. Has an abundance of dark green leaves of 
large size and very much crumpled and of fine 
quality. It is fit for use in thirty days from sowing 
and remains in good condition fully two weeks 
after other varieties have started seed-stocks.
