SPINACH 
One of our most wholesome 
“‘sreens’’ in the spring and early fall 
when cool weather is most favorable 
for its growth. Also suitable for quick 
freezing. New Zealand Spinach will 
supply delicious ‘‘greens’”’ throughout 
the summer and fall. It withstands 
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; this varies in 
different sections and season when 
sown.

70 days. When prepared for the table, it so greatly resembles spinach 
in appearance and flavor that most persons 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 lo- 
cation. One sowing will do for the season. It is not hardy so cannot stand 
frost. Pkt. 15¢; oz. 40¢; 1%, Ib. $1.10; 1% lb. $2.00 
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.
