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 
shou!d 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.
