Pill TURF An al 'i-year crop. Sow early in spring, in drills one 
l.uliukc. foot a p ar t, and thin the plants as you need them for 
cooking. For winter and spring use, sow in September. One 
ounce of seed will sow about seventy-five feet of row. In field 
plantings, 12 to 15 lbs. of seed are planted per acre in rows 16 to 
18 inches apart. There is an enormous demand for Spinach for 
canning purposes as well as for the market. Spinach does not 
do well in hot weather and therefore late spring plantings are 
not advisable. It requires good soil and plenty of water. 
GIANT AMSTERDAM OR PRICKLY WINTER, ^our^inach^fist 
is being used more by canners and market growers than any 
other and by successive plantings your garden will produce a 
crop of this healthful vegetable all the year except in the mid¬ 
summer. The plant is vigorous, leaves large, thick and of finest 
quality. Plants are very slow to go to seed giving a longer 
cutting season.
