Bloomsdale 
Long Standing 
One of out most wholesome 
“greens” 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 will vary 
according to locality where and the 
season when seedyis sown.

How to Grow Spinach 
Sow seeds very early in the spring, either broad- 
cast 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 sum- 
mer; 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.
