Swiss Chard 



Culture: This vegetable is becoming more popular 

 every year. It should be in every garden. Beside 

 the rich succulent green foliage which is cooked like 

 spinach, the tender white leaf-stalkB may be pre- 

 pared like asparagus, and in that way two entirely 

 different dishes may be had from the same plant. 

 Sow the seed as soon as the ground can be worked 

 in drills 18 to 24 in. apart. Cover with 1 in. of fine 

 soil. Thin the young plants carefully to stand 8 to 

 12 in. apart in the row. One packet for 25 ft.; ounce 

 per 100 ft. ; 5 to 6 lbs. per acre.

Provides "Greens" from Early Spring 

 Until Frost (25 days)
