How to Grow 
Spinach 
Everybody knows that Spinach is high on the list of health giving 
and body building vegetables. Grow more 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 application of highly nitrogenous fertilizer is 
advantageous when the plants are about half grown. Plant to a depth of one inch 
in rows 16 to 20 inches apart, thin to 6 inches apart in the row. 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 poison¬ 
ous insecticides for insect control. We recommend Aphicide Pyronic, page 88. Plant 
1 ounce of seed to 100 feet of drill, 8 pounds per acre. 
Spinach is the ideal vegetable for greens. Grow more of it.
