SPINACH 
One ounce will sow about 75 feet of drill; 10 to 12 pounds, an acre. 
Sow for sping use, in drills 1 foot apart (covering the seed to about 
1% inch), as early as the ground can be worked, and continue to sow 
every two weeks till May 15. Spinach seed seldom germinates during 
June, July or August, so we do not recommend sowing again until 
September, which is the season to provide an early winter and spring 
crop.
