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 recom- 
mend the New Zealand Spinach or Luecul- 
lus Swiss Chard as both of these greens 
can be cut over and over again. One
