Planting Instructions The first sowing of Spinach should 
be made one or two weeks before the last expected spring

the approach of hot weather. Fall plantings, very popular, can 
be made up to within six weeks of first expected frost.

ity, 42.

mended for both the home garden and the market. Days to 
maturity, 42.

in hot weather. A large, freely branched, spreading plant that 
produces a succession of small, very thick and fleshy, pointed 
Hubbard Squash leaves on round fleshy stems. The leaves and tips of branches 
are picked for cooking like Spinach. Days to maturity, 70.
