One ounce trill sow 50 feet of drill. Twelve to sixteen 
pounds will sow an acre. 
Culture. —Spinach may be grown on any ordinary 
soil, and its cultivation is a very simple matter. It 
is grown both as a Spring and Summer Crop. For 
early use, sow in August or September, in drills 12 
to 14 inches apart. At the approach of cold weather 
cover lightly with straw, or any hardy litter. Un¬ 
cover when the plants begin to make a new growth 
in Spring. For Summer use, sow early in Spring, 
in the same way as above, using rather less seed. 
If the plants stand too thick, thin to 3 or 4 inches 
apart. A liberal dressing of good manure should 
be used. The land can hardly be made too rich. 
All Season ^ superb variety for planting in 
-- _ rotation all Summer long. It does 
not send up its flower stems and bear seed the 
same as the early varieties which are easily af¬ 
fected by hot weather. While most sorts of Spin¬ 
ach are usually grown for Fall and Spring crops, 
this excellent variety may be used through the Sum¬ 
mer months with satisfactory results. The leaves 
are thick and tender, and quite crumpled.

Culture. —Before you plant Squash the ground 
must be warm and settled, the soil light and highly 
manured. Summer varieties should be planted from 
four to six feet apart each way in the hills, press¬ 
ing the seed down firmly one inch deep. Late varie¬ 
ties in hills eight feet apart, covering the seed about 
one and one-half inches deep.
