22 SP SPINACH 
Spinach is a cool weather crop and may be sown very early in the 
spring. It is not injured by spring freezes. Seed may be broad- 
cast or sown in rows 18 to 24 in. apart; cover seed with 1 in. 
of soil and thin plants to stand 5 or 6 in. apart in the rows. 
Make successive sowings until early summer; for fall use, 
sow from Aug. 10 to Sept. 15 and for early spring use, 
south of Pennsylvania, sow in Sept. and cover with a few 
inches of hay, leaves or litter. These plantings will give 
cuttings two weeks earlier than spring-sown crops. A 
pkt. will sow about 25 ft. of row; 1 oz. 100 ft.
