SPINACH 
CULTURE — Spinach demands rich, light 
soil. Sow seed in early spring, 1 inch deep, 
in rows 12 inches apart, and make additional 
sowings every two weeks for a succession. 
For fall use, sow in August, and for a winter 
crop, in September. One ounce will sow about 
100 feet of rows; 10 to 12 pounds in drills to 
the acre. 
BLOOMSDALE SAVOY—The most largely 
grown variety and suitable for the home and 
market garden. One of the earliest and best 
for fall planting, for spring use being very 
hardy, but goes to seed quickly in hot weather; 
leaves broad, dark green and much crumpled. 
GIANT THICK LEAVED (Round Seeded) 
—Is the best of the round-seeded, thick-leaved 
group. Is an enormous yielder of a deep 
green color and smooth character leaves. Val¬ 
uable for home and market garden as well as 
canning. 
BLOOMSDALE LONG STANDING—Small 
but very compact, with short-stemmed, dark 
green leaves. The leaves are pointed, of thick 
texture, and much crumpled. Stands a long 
time before bolting to seed. Yields over 1,000 
bushels per acre on good soil. 
NEW ZEALAND—Entirely dilferent from 
other Spinach in type and in that it thrives 
during hot weather and in any soil, rich or 
poor. The tender shoots are of good quality 
and may be cut throughout the summer. Plant 
three or four seeds in hills two feet apart 
each way. This Spinach can be used in Au¬ 
gust or September or up till frost. By using 
only the leaves it will sprout out again.
