Culture: Sow the seed in the spring in drills 1 foot apart 
and 1 inch deep, thinning out plants to 4 inches. It suc¬ 
ceeds best in light, well-enriched soil. One ounce to 50 feet 
of drill.

Spinach 
German—Spinat Spanish—Espinaca 
Italian—Spinace. 
Culture: Spinach thrives in any ordinary soil but rich soil 
increases the size and quality and its cultivation is a very 
simple matter. To secure good spinach early in the spring, the 
seed should be planted in the fall. For a succession, sow again 
early in the spring and every two weeks thereafter. Sow seed 
in rows 16 to 20 inches apart and thin to 4 to 5 inches 
apart, or seed may be broadcast and thinned out to 5 inches. 
When seed is sown in the spring, after ground has started to 
warm, it requires about 45 to 50 days from date of sowing 
to cutting.
