SPINAC 10 pounds per acre 
HOW TO GROW SPINACH. Sow seed early in spring as 
soon as the soil is workable. It can be sown broadcast or in 
rows 12 to 15 inches apart in the garden or 24 inches apart for 
horse or tractor cultivation. We think row planting best, for 
if necessary the crop can then be cultivated or weeded. Cover 
seed 1 inch and thin, if in rows, to 6 inches apart. For fall crop 
sow in early August. For wintering over for early spring cutting, 
sow last half of September. When cold weather sets in, cover 
the plants with straw or dry leaves. You can freeze or can any 
of these varieties.
