SPINACH 
CULTURE—Spinach is one of the most easily managed of 
all vegetables, requiring little culture. The main crop is sown 
in September and it is sometimes covered with straw in ex¬ 
posed places during winter, which prevents it from being cut 
with the frost. For summer use it may be sown at intervals 
of two or three weeks from March to August. Spinach is best 
developed, most tender and succulent when grown in rich soil. 
One ounce to 100 feet of drill; 10 to 12 pounds to an acre. Five 
pounds or more of one variety, not prepaid, at 10c less per 
pound. 
Long Standing'. An improved strain of excellent merit, having 
all the good qualities of the ordinary sorts. The fact that it is 
much later in going to seed than any other variety renders it 
especially desirable. Pkt. 5c; oz. 15c; 34 lb. 25c; lb. 50c. 
Improved Thick Leaf. A variety which grows rapidly, forming

TOMATO 
CULTURE—When the plants are to be raised, 
the seed should be sown in March, in a hotbed or 
greenhouse; or they may be sown in a box and 
kept inside the window of a room where the night 
temperature is not less than 65 degrees. The 
plants should be thinned out in the bed so as to 
give them plenty of room, or they will be weak 
and poor. They should be transplanted in the 
open ground from 3 to 4 feet apart each way.
