SPINACH 
One ounce will plant about 100 feet of drill

Culture. Sow in March or April in drills an 
inch deep and 14 inches apart; again in August or

ous type of compact, flat, spreading 
growth. The leaves are large, thick, 
slightly crumpled, very fleshy, and carried 
on long stems. The color is a very dark 
green. The most important point about 
this Spinach, however, is that it stands 
Jully one month longer than any other variety

is quite early to mature. Pkt. 10 cts., oz.

Spinach which may be grown successfully
