SPINACH 
One ounce of seed will sow about 100 feet of drill; 14 to 15 pounds 
will sow an acre 
From the standpoint of health, there are few vegetables more 
valuable than Spinach. Room should be made for it in every 
garden, small or large. It is easy to grow but should have a 
moderately rich, well-dug soil. Start tne first crop in drills an 
inch deep and 15 inches apart as soon as the ground can be made 
ready in the spring, and follow this with successive sowings 
every ten days up to the middle of May. Make additional sow¬ 
ings in August and September for fall use. Thin the plants to 
stand about 5 inches apart. To provide Spinach during hot 
weather, when ordinary varieties do not thrive, make a sowing 
of the heat-resistant New Zealand Spinach about May 1. For 
extra-early Spinach in the spring, sow one of the hardy sorts late 
in September and protect the plants over winter.
