SPINACH

50 feet of drill 
First sowings should be made as soon as the ground is open in spring. Sow 
seed 5 inch deep in drills 1 foot apart and every two weeks thereafter for suc¬ 
cession. Sowings made during September usually grow large enough to winter 
over and with little protection afford Spinach very early the following spring. A 
rich soil is essential to obtain best results.
