‘ 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 grow- 
ing, 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.

One of our most wholesome 
“greens” in the spring and early fall 
for its growth. Also suitable for quick 
freezing. New Zealand Spinach will 
supply délicious ‘‘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. :

sembles spinach in appearance and flavor that most per-

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 location. One sowing will do for the season. It
