GIANT LUCULLUS 
SWISS CHARD. 
The Swiss Chard, or Spinach Beet, is prepared for the table 
in the same manner as Spinach; sometimes, however, the mid- 
rib is prepared like Asparagus, with drawn butter. Seed planted 
early in the spring will quickly produce plants from which cut- 
tings may be made all summer, as you can cut right down to the 
ground, and new shoots will soon spring up ard make a fast 
growth, while those plants which are allowed to grow on without 
any cutting will make large curly leaves, with thick, light- 
colored midribs, which are delicious when cooked and served 
like asparagus. ‘‘Giant Lucullus’”’ is the largest and best 
variety of Swiss Chard, and you should not fail to plant at least 
one long row in your garden this spring. Pkt., 10 cts.; oz., 
20 cts.; 3 lb., 50 cts.; lb., $1.75.

| DARK-LEAVED GLOBE BEET. 
A splendid type of the blood-turnip variety, the originator 
having in mind a Beet combining good quality with beautiful 
globe shape. The dark foliage of this variety is a striking 
feature, while the corresponding rich, dark color of flesh and 
beautiful globe shape combine to make it an exceedingly attrac- 
tive variety. The quality is excellent, being sweet and tender. 
Pkt., 10 cts.; oz., 20 cts.; $1b., 50 cts.; Ilb., $1.75. 
EARLY MODEL BEET. 
A fine selection of blood-red Beet, extremely smooth, fine rich 
color and desirable shape, and makes a rapid growth, maturing 
very early. It is globe-shape, the color of flesh a rich blood-red 
and of most excellent quality, being sweet, tender and free from 
coarseness. The tops are quite small, making it a fine variety 
for forcing in hotbed, and it retains all the good qualities either 
when grown under glass or outside. Pkt., 10 cts.; 0z., 20 cts.; 
Z Ib., 50 cts.; lb., $1.75.
