A hardy plant grown for its leaves, which are used as 

 boiling "greens" or salad. Seed should be sown thinly in 

 drills early in spring. When well started thin out to stand 

 4 to 6 inches apart in the row. The leaves can be gathered 

 for use at any time after the plants are well started in 

 growth, and the roots will continue to produce a further 

 supply. The plant is entirely hardy, and, starting into 

 growth early the following spring, will afford a large supply 

 of fine "greens" quite early.
