Swiss Chard 



This relative of the beet is not very well known in Amer- 

 ican gardens in general; but it has been given much attention 

 In recent years by Mr. Burbank. The specimens in his garden, as will 

 appear from this photograph, are of large size and luxuriant 

 growth; but they are still undergoing development. It 

 is only in recent years that Mr. Burbank has 

 given the chorda especial attention.
