V'ULiUKC. foot apart, and thin the plants as you need them for 
cooking. For winter and spring use, sow in September. One 
ounce of seed will sow about seventy-five feet of row. In field 
plantings, 12 to 15 lbs. of seed are planted per acre in rows Id to

canning purposes as well as for the market. Spinach does not 
do well in hot weather and therefore late spring plantings are 
not advisable. It requires good soil and plenty of water.
