CUPROCIDE

before sowing, to prevent the fungous disease 
known as dainping-off. Use at the rate of 2 
teaspoonfuls to 1 pound of seed. 4 ozs. 35c.; 
90c. per lb.; 5 lbs. $4.00; $14.00 per 20 lbs.;

Sow for spring use, in drills 1 foot apart (covering the seed about 3^ inch), as 
early as the ground can be worked, and continue to sow every two weeks till 
May 15. Spinach seed seldom germinates during June, July, or August, so we do 
not recommend sowing again until September, which is the season to provide 
an early winter and spring crop. On the approach of cold weather, cover with 
long manure, straw, or other litter. Spinach can also be grown successfully under 
hotbed sash.
