SPINACH 
Spinach is a cool-weather crop and may be sown as soon as the 
ground can be made ready in the spring and followed with suc- 
cessive sowings every ten days up to the middle of May. Make 
additional sowings in August and September for fall use. Sow in 
drills 14 inch deep, in rows about 12 inches apart, and thin the 
plants to stand about 2 inches apart. 
To provide Spinach during hot weather, when ordinary varieties 
do not thrive, make a sowing of the heat-resistant New Zealand 
Spinach in April. Sow in rows 3 feet apart and let the plants 
stand about 1 foot apart in the row. 
NOTE—The time from sowing of seed to cutting of plants varies 
considerably with the season of the year in which sowings are made. 
Days given apply to spring sowings. 
One ounce of seed will sow about 100 feet of drill; 
14 to 15 pounds will sow an acre
