All Spinach—Packet, 5c; ounce, © 
Up NA 15c. Spinach is a cool season 
annual, grown for greens. No 
spinach will stand extreme summer heat without 
‘shooting’ seed stalks. For this reason the seed must _ 
be sown early in the spring or late in the summer to 
avoid the danger of the crop maturing in July or 
August. For spring and summer use sow as early as 
the ground can be worked and make successive | 
plantings every two weeks until May 15th. The leaves 
will be ready for use four or five weeks after sowing. 
For Autumn use, sow seed about August Ist. Spinach 
will grow very large and can be cut from the first of _ 
September until the ground freezes.

CH All Radishes — Packet, 5c; 
secret of getting crisp, delicious radishes is 
guick growth; for this they need a rich mellow 
soil. Sow the seed about one-third of an inch 
deep in drills not over 8 to 12 inches apart. 
All through the spring a succession should be 
sown every ten days. Keep in mind that an old 
radish is a worthless one and being harvested 
as soon as possible, they must be quickly grown 
and of course kept thoroughly cultivated. It is 
advisable to use crude Naphthalene flakes in the 
soil at the time of sowing seed. This will protect 
the crop from soil insects such as maggots and 
worms.
