SPINACH Deserves Its Favorable Publicity 
New strains have made this Vitamin vege- 
table the most popular of all table greens. 
Spinach delights in cool, moist weather. Seed should be 
sown at the earliest possible moment in spring in rows one 
foot apart and thinned to six inches in the row. It matures 
in 45 to 50 days and quickly runs to seed in warm weather. 
Home gardeners have generally adopted Swiss Chard and 
New Zealand Spinach as a greens crop, as both may be 
cut many times and will produce a continuous crop until 
freezing weather in the fall. A fall crop of spinach may be 
sown in late July or August and will find the cool, moist 
autumn weather favorable for growth. The value of spinach 
in the diet has been scientifically established by the vitamin 
investigation.
