SPINACH 
The most important greens crop. It is very hardy. and will 
stand considerable freezing weather, but many varieties 
run to seed rapidly in hot weather. It is of easy culture 
and by successional sowing a supply may be secured 
throughout the season. For early spring use sow late in 
September and protect with hay or straw through the 
winter. May be sown in spring as early as the ground can 
be worked, either in rows or broadcast. Summer sowings 
should be on freshly plowed ground and the soil must be 
packed hard about the seed, as it will not germinate in 
dry soil. 
Spinach seed treated with PHYGON germinates more 
evenly with a better stand.

type developed by the Virginia Experiment Station to 
overcome the “yellows,” or Spinach Blight, which seri- 
ously affects the fall crop. Very hardy and grows vigor- 
ously in the late fall, but cannot be sown at other seasons 
without quickly running to seed.

NEW ZEALAND A plant used like Spinach, but entirely 
different. It flourishes in almost any soil and grows most 
rapidly during hot weather. It is of a running and branch- 
ing nature and continues to grow after cutting, thus pro- 
ducing a supply of greens throughout the season. Only 
the tender tips of the branches should be used. The seed 
is very hard-shelled and should be soaked in warm water 
several hours before planting.
