Swiss Chard or Spinach Beet 
Swiss Chard is a beet grown for its leaves. 
The mid-rib when boiled makes delicious greens, 
or the leaves may be boiled and served as spin- 
ach. Sown in the spring the leaves are soon 
ready to eat, and will continue to grow all 
through the summer and fall. If given a little 
protection it will survive the winter and make ex- 
cellent greens early in the spring. 
One ounce will sow 100 feet of drill.
