SPINACH 
CULTURE.—For spring use sow early in drills 1 foot 
apart, and for succession every two weeks; as it grows, 
thin out for use, keeping it clean of weeds. For fall use 
sow in August; for winter use sow in September, in well- 
manured ground. Mulch with straw on approach of 
severe cold weather. 
Bloomsdale Savoy-leaved Long Standing. 39 days. The 
plant is very uniform and sturdy with attractive crum- 
pled and blistered dark green leaves. It is exception- 
ally valuable for both home use and market-gardens 
as it holds a long time before throwing seed stalks.

CULTURE.—The Squash is one of the most nutritious 
and valuable of all garden vegetables. The summer va- 
rieties come for the table early in the season and are 
very profitable, while the winter sorts can be had in 
perfection from August until the summer varieties are 
in condition for use. Plant in hills, in the same manner 
and at the same time as cucumbers and melons, the bush 
kinds 8 to 4 feet apart, the running kind 6 to 9 feet apart.
