Time to Sow —For an early crop seed should be sown just as soon as the 
ground can be worked (about April |) with successive sowings up to the end 
of May. This crop runs quickly to seed in hot, dry weather and therefore 
itis 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 !5 inch of 
soil and allow |!5 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
