This article appears in Volume V20, Page 141 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: NUM-ORC
ORACH, or MOUNTAIN SPINACH , known botanically as Atriplex hortensis, a tall-growing
hardy
  annual, whose leaves, though coarsely flavoured, are used as a substitute for spinach, and to correct the acidity of sorrel. The
white
  and the green are the most desirable varieties. The plant should be grown quickly in
rich
  soil. It may be sown in rows 2 ft. apart, and about the same distance in the row, about
March
 , and for succession again in June. If needful, water must be freely given, so as to maintain a rapid growth. A variety, A. ;ortensis var. rubra, commonly called red
mountain
  spinach, is a
hardy
  annual 3 to 4 ft. high with fine ornamental foliage.
