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 Zea- 
land Spinach will supply delicious ‘‘greens’’ throughout 
heat, as does Swiss Chard and Tam- 
pala. Why not plant some of each 
class to supply you with vitamin-rich 
fresh ‘‘greens’’ throughout the season; 
canned or frozen for use during the 
winter? The number of days from sow- 
ing the seed until spinach is ready to 
use applies to spring plantings in vi- 
cinity of Philadelphia. The time varies 
in different sections and season when 
sown.

70 days. When prepared for the table, it so greatly re- 
sembles spinach in appearance and flavor that most per- 
sons will not be aware of the difference. It makes strong 
plants which resist heat and produce an abundance of 
fleshy, brittle green leaves and young stem tips that can 
be picked repeatedly all during the summer and fall. 
Plants attain a spread of 4 ft. when fully grown and thrive 
in any good soil in a warm location. One sowing will do 
for,the season. It is not hardy so cannot stand frost.

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. apart 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. Directions 
for growing New Zealand spinach are given on the seed bags.
