How to Grow 
Spinach 
Everybody knows that Spinach is high on the list of health 
giving and body building vegetables. Grow mo're and eat 
more. It is essentially a spring and autumn crop and 
delights in cool moist weather. While an annual, it is so 
hardy that it may be sown in the autumn and carried over winter except in the 
extreme north, coming on very early in the spring. (See page 2 for preparation 
of the soil.) Abundant, quickly available plant food is desirable and an appli¬ 
cation of highly nitrogenous fertilizer is advantageous when growth is nearing 
completion. Plant to a depth of one inch in rows 16 to 20 inches apart, thin to 
6 inches apart in the row. Of the varieties we list, all but Prickly Winter are 
long standing; that is, slow to run to seed. Spinach has had much attention 
from plant breeders the past few years and varieties are now much larger 
leaved, more succulent and remain in good edible condition longer. Do not use 
poisonous insecticides for insect control. We recommend Aphicide Pyronic, page 
18. Plant 1 ounce of seed to 100 feet of drill, 8 pounds per acre.
