Culture for Bloomsdale Spinach. Successful for fall and 
winter planting. Does not grow well in hot weather. Plant 
seed in rows 16 to 20 inches apart and thin to 4 to 6 inches 
apart in the row. May be planted broadcast, thinning plants

Culture for New Zealand Spinach. As seeds are very 
hard and germinate with difficulty, soak them in warm water 
for twenty-four hours to hasten germination. Plant seed in 
rows two feet apart, and drop three or four seeds per hill 
about 20 inches apart in the row. Plant three to four pounds 
of seed per acre.

Spinach. The plant is tall and very spreading, with numerous 
side shoots. It grows to a height of 1 foot and spreads to a 
radius of 2 feet. Leaves are very thick, light green, rather 
small, broad and pointed. It grows well in hot weather and 
under adverse conditions, and is sometimes called “Summer” 
or “Hot-weather Spinach.” The leafy tips of the branches 
are removed and new growth follows, making possible many 
cuttings.
