SPINACH 
The most important greens crop. It is very 
hardy and will stand considerable freezing weather, 
but many varieties run to seed rapidly in hot 
weather. It is of easy culture and by successional 
sowing a supply may be secured throughout the 
season. For early spring use sow in late September 
and protect with hay or straw through the winter. 
May be sown in spring as early as the ground can 
be worked, either in rows or broadcast. Summer 
sowings should be on freshly plowed ground and 
the soil packed hard about the seed, as the seed 
will not germinate in dry soil. Treatment of seed 
with Red Copper Oxide is recommended especially 
for summer planting or on land where Spinach is 
subject to “damping off”.

NEW ZEALAND A plant used like Spinach, but 
entirely different. It flourishes in almost any 
soil and grows most rapidly during hot wea¬

and continues to grow after cutting, thus 
producing a supply of greens throughout the 
season. Only the tender tips of the branches 
should be used. The seed is very hardshelled 
and should be soaked in warm water several 
hours before planting.
