Abe leading leaf vegetable and when

.) and nourishing of all the “greens.” 
Culture—As all spinach, except New Zealand, 
shoots to.seed in hot weather it thrives best 
as an early Spring or Fall crop and should not 
be condemned if weather conditions necessi- 
tate re-planting. Rains directly after planting 
invariably destroy germination, for seed will 
rot, rather than penetrate a hard packed soil. 
Sow early in well prepared, limed and fertil- 
ized ground, 14 in. deep in rows 1 ft. apart 
and thin to 4 ins. in the row, planting every 
10 days to May 15 for a succession. August 
sowing for Fall and September sowing for 
Winter crops, is best. Seed sown on snow lies 
dormant and germinates in the Spring. 
SUMMER SAVOY 
45 Days—Recently improved strain of Long 
Standing Bloomsdale for late Spring sowing. 
Excellent Summer crop, leaves dark green 
and crumpled; stands 3 to 4 days longer with- 
out bolting to seed. 
NOBEL OR GIANT THICK LEAVED 
45 Days—Produces the largest spinach, suit- 
able for home garden, market or canning. 
Plant vigorous and slow to form seed stalks. 
Leaves smooth deep green, pointed with round 
tip; large, thick and tender. 
NEW ZEALAND 
70 Days—Hot Weather Spinach—Ideal for 
home garden. Seeds are large, hard and 
horny. Slow to germinate. If necessary, soak 
seed before planting. Sow 1 in. deep in rows 
21/2 ft, apart and thin to 4 ins. apart. Although 
not a true spinach, the leaves resemble spin- 
ach and taste similar if not better when 
cooked. When true spinach bolts to seed, New 
Zealand is at its best, bearing. continuously 
from July until killed by frost. Plant bushy 
with abundant, brittle but thick pointed leaves 
of delicious flavor. As top stalks are cut, side 
shoots develop into another crop of leaves.
