enormous quantities. In this locality Spinach is sown broadcast in March or April for 
early crop and from July to September for fall and winter crop at the rate of about 
10 to 15 Ibs. per acre. It can also be sown in drills 12 to 15 inches apart and cultivated. 
One ounce sows 100 feet of drill. 12 pounds per acre in drills, 20 pounds-per acre 
broadcast. One-half pound is sufficient for a medium garden.
