A&M SPINACH 
: Write for Quantity Prices 
Culture—% oz. to 50-foot row; 10 to 15 lbs. to acre. A rich light loam is best for spinach. However, 
it will grow in ordinary soils. Spinach grows the year round in California and for succession 
plant every two weeks. Sow in drills 1 foot apart and thin. keeping it free from weeds. Plant 
spinach thicker during the warm months as it does not germinate so well in warm weather. For 
field culture plant 16 to 18 inches apart to allow for horse cultivation. The plants will stand a 
relatively low degree of temperature but are seriously injured by heat, therefore we recommend 
that spring planting be avoided as the growth would not be as satisfactory. The average produc- 
tion per acre is 4 tons.

ach. Produces spreading branched stems 2 to 3
