SPINACH 
(Continued) 
Old Dominion — This is an imported strain result- 
ing from a cross of Blight Resistant Savoy with 
King of Denmark, and obtaining the good qualities 
of both. Longstanding and blight resistant, this va- 
riety does well in either Spring or Fall plantings in 
most localities. Leaves are smoother than Blooms- 
dale, somewhat pointed, thick, savoyed, crumpled, 
dark green, and of very good quality. An excellent 
shipping variety. 42 days. 
SQUASH 
CULTURE: A good rich, well-manured, moist soil 
produces the best squash. Planting can be made 
early in the Spring after the ground has warmed up. 
The vine types or Winter squash should be planted 
in hills 6 or 8 feet apart each way; the bush or 
Summer types can be set out in 3 foot rows, 4 feet 
apart in the row. Insect control is important if 
good crops are expected. Frequent inspection and 
dusting is necessary.
