Spinach 
In recent years people have learned how to cook 
spinach properly and find it is very appetizing. It 
is a very important source of vitamins and included 
in nearly all health menus. Breeders have suc¬ 
ceeded in producing a larger leaved variety, more 
succulent and remaining in condition much longer 
time. Sow in rows 16 to 20 inches apart, thin down 
to 5 inches. In cooking use only the water which 
clings to the leaves after it has been washed 
thoroughly and keep tightly covered. Cook only 
a short time and do not let stand before serving.
