' Burpee’s SPINACH 
One of our most wholesome “‘greens”’ in the spring and early fall 
when cool weather is most favorable for its growth. Also suitable 
for quick freezing. The New Zealand Spinach will supply delicious 
“greens’’ throughout the summer and fall. It withstands heat, as 
does Swiss Chard and Tampala. Why not plant some of each class 
to supply you with vitamin-rich fresh ‘‘greens’’ throughout the 
season; canned or frozen during the winter?

How to Grow SPINACH 
Sow seeds very early in the spring, either broadcast 
or in rows 18 to 24 in. apart; cover the seed with 1 in. 
of soil and thin plants to stand 5 or 6 in. anart in the 
rows. At each picking, remove every other plant, 
which will allow room for remaining plants to fully 
develop. Additional sowings may be made when the 
preceding planting is up and growing, but the last 
should be two months before hot weather is expected. 
For fall use, sow in late summer; for early spring use, 
where winters are mild, sow in early fall and cover 
with a few inches of hay, leaves or litter. A pkt. will 
sow 25 ft. of row; 1 oz. 75 ft.

sembles spinach in appearance and flavor that most per- 
sons will not be aware of the difference. It makes strong

green leaves that can be picked repeatedly all during the 
summer and fall. As the plants send out fresh growth con- 
tinuously after being cut, a supply of ‘‘greens’’ may be had 
until frost destroys the plants. Both the young stem tips : : 
and leaves are fleshy and brittle and of the finest quality New Zealand or Everlasting Spinach
