New Swiss Chard, or Spinach Beet,

The Swiss Chard is growing more popular as a vegetable each season. This 

 new variety is a great acquisition. The stalks are as thick and broad as 

 rhubarb. The plants grow to a height of from 2 to 2K feet, and the stalks are from 10 to 12 

 inches long below the leaf. These stalks are delicious when cooked and should be served in 

 the same manner as stewed celery and asparagus. The leaf portion of the " Giant Lucullus" 

 is heavily crumpled or savoyed and is very crisp and tender. The leafy portion of the foliage 

 is cooked and served in the same manner as spinach. The leaves and stalks, being served as 

 separate vegetables, af- 

 ford two distinct dishes 

 from the same plant at 

 onetime. Pkt. 10 cts., oz.
