SPINACH 
Spinach is very rich in Vitamins A and C, and also contributes 
Vitamins B and G, nicotinic acid, and iron. 
CULTURE. Sow just as soon as the ground will permit 
working in spring. Sow in rows 12 inches apart and 1 inch 
deep. If given some protection over winter, spinach may be 
sown in the fall for spring use. Spinach being of a leafy 
growth only, should be kept growing fast in order to be 
tender and palatable. The soil should be well fertilized with 
a complete fertilizer. After the spinach is up it should re- 
ceive a side-dressing of nitrate of soda or sulphate of am- 
monia about once a week until fit for market.
