Spinach 
x_r ~ 
Spinach is one of the most important sources of 
vitamins. It is included in all healthful diets, and is 
absolutely necessary to the general health and development of 
small children. When properly cooked and prepared for table, 
it is a most palatable dish. 
Culture. Sow in rows 16 to 20 inches apart, covering seed 1 inch deep. 
When leaves are 1 inch wide, thin to 6 to 8 inches apart in the rows. Spinach 
develops best and is most tender when grown in rich soil and in cool weather. 
Ready in 8 to 10 weeks. One ounce will sow 100 feet of row; 8 to 10 pounds, 
an acre. 
Squash 
The recent discovery of health-promoting vitamins 
in Summer Squash has greatly increased its popularity 
as a home-garden vegetable. Properly cooked and prepared for 
table, Squash has an appealing and delicate flavor. 
Culture. Plantings should not be made until all danger of frost is over, and 
the ground warm. Plant in hills 4 to 6 feet apart each way, dropping 6 to 8 
seeds to the hill and covering firmly with Yi inch of fine soil. When plants have 
attained their fourth leaves, thin out, leaving the three strongest plants in each 
hill. Ready for table in 55 to 65 days. One ounce of seed will plant 25 hills; 
2 to 3 pounds will sow an acre.
