SPINACH 
S PINACH delights in very rich soil, the richer the better. Sow very early in the Spring 
one'half inch deep in drills 12 inches apart, and thin the young plants to 4 inches apart 
in the rows. For a succession, plant every ten days until the end of April. Spinach delights 
in cool moist weather and quickly runs to seed in hot weather. For a Fall crop sow in 
August, and for a Winter crop sow in September. In the south—for a Spring crop sow in 
January, February and March and for a Fall crop sow in September and October. One ounce 
will sow 100 feet of drill, twenty pounds per acre.
