SPINACH 
Time to Sow—For an early crop seed should be sown 
just as soon as the ground can be worked (about 
April 1) with successive sowings up to the end of 
May. This crop runs quickly to seed in hot, dry 
weather and therefore it is 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 1/2 inch of soil and allow 1-1/2 feet be- 
tween 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.

Butternut Squash 
SQUASH 
Time_to Plant—Sow the seeds of Summer Squash 
from May 1 to July 1 and Winter Squash from 
May 1 to June 1. 
Soil _ Preparation—Prepare the hills by spading in 
two or three shovelfuls of well-rotted manure to 
each hill. If this is not available, work in about a 
handful of commercial fertilizer to each hill. 
Planting—It is best to sow from 6 to 8 seeds in each 
hill about 1/2 in. deep. When these are well up, 
thin out, leaving only 2 or 3 of the strongest plants 
to grow in each hill. For Summer Squash allow about 
4 feet each way between the hills and 7 feet each 
way for Winter varieties. 
1 ounce of Summer Squash will plant about 50 hills. 
1 ounce of Winter Squash will plant about 15 hills.
