Spinach, Nobel Giant Thick-leavec 

Excellent source of both vitamins A and C, with a good supply of iron and 
some riboflavin. 

Time to Sow. For an early crop seed should be sown just as soon as the ground 
can be worked (about April 1) with successive sowings up to the end of May. This 
crop runs quickly to seed in hot dry weather and therefore it is best not to plant again 
until about August 15 when a Fall crop of Spinach can be sown which will provide 
greens until frost. 
Soil Preparation. Spinach, to be succulent and tender must have a really rich 
soil, well prepared and liberally manured. 
Planting. Sow the seed thinly in rows; cover with not over 14 inch of soil and 
allow 1'4 feet between rows. When the plants are large enough to handle, thin out, 
leaving about one inch between plants. 
1 ounce of seed should sow a 50-foot row

TURNIP 
Turnip greens are most valuable for they supply excellent 
quantities of vitamins A and C, together with a good supply “of 
calcium and iron. The roots provide a good supply of vitamin{C. 

Turnips are easy to grow. They will thrive in the Spring or Fall but 
will not do well during the heat of Summer. Seeds may be sown as 
early as the ground is workable (about April |) with successive sowings 
until May 15. The Fall crop should be sown in August. Any reasonably 
good garden soil will suffice. 
Sow in rows, | '4 feet apart and cover the seed with not over 1 inch 
of soil. When the plants are about 3 inches high, thin them out to stand 
3 inches apart. These tender vitamin-rich plants should not be 
discarded, they make delicious greens.

RUTA-BAGA or Swedish Turnip 
The greens are most valuable, for they supply excellent quan- 
tities of vitamins A and C, together with a good supply of calcium 
and iron. The roots provide vitamin C with some vitamin A. 
They are an important Fall crop for the roots can be stored 
throughout the Winter. 
Seeds may be sown during April, but since they do not do well during 
hot weather, it is best not to make further plantings until after June 15, 
when an Autumn crop may be sown. Their cultural requirements are 
like Turnips except that they must be thinned to stand 6 inches apart.
