SPINACH 
Start the first crop in drills an inch deep 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 
sowings 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.

It is cheapest to start with seed but only a percentage of the 
plants grown from seed will be worth saving. Sow early in the 
spring, in drills an inch deep and a foot apart, and thin the plants 
to stand about 5 inches apart. The following spring, reset the 
best plants 3 to 4 feet apart each way. If you start with roots, 
plant them with the crown about 1 inch below the surface. Give 
water, if needed, while the plants are producing and dress with 
manure every year after the cutting season is over. 
Victoria. This is the best all-round variety. Productive and 
comes fairly true from seed. Seed, pkt. 10 cts., oz. 20 cts., 
341b. 60 cts. Roots, 15 cts. each, $1.50 per doz.; postpaid, 
$1.75 per doz. 
SALSIFY 
Often called “Vegetable Oyster” or “Oyster Plant” on account 
of its flavor. Sow the seed early, as the plants require a long 
season to attain full size; cover about an inch deep and thin to 
3 inches apart. Roots may be left in the ground all winter and 
dug as needed. 
One ounce of seed will sow about 50 feet of drill; 
10 pounds will sow an acre
