Bred for Thick 
CULTURE: Spinach needs cool, 
moist weather. The seed should be 
sown early in the spring in rows one 
foot apart and thinned to 6 inches 
in the row. Upon the arrival of warm 
weather it tends to bolt to seed. A 
fall crop of spinach may be sown in 
late July or August and will do well 
during the cool, moist autumn days. 
Spinach is rich in vitamins. For 
city gardens we recommend the New 
Zealand Spinach or Lucullus Swiss 
Chard as both of these greens can 
be cut over and over again. One 
pkt. will plant 20 feet; 10 to 14 Ibs.
