 the roots are 10 inches apart.

SWISS CHARD 



Only the tops of this beet are used, like spinach, and the 

 succulent stalks and midribs may be prepared in the same way 

 as asparagus. The plants are cultivated like beets except that 

 they should be thinned to 8 or 10 inches apart. If only the outer 

 leaves are gathered, the inner leaves will continue to grow, and 

 repeated pickings can be made. 



LARGE RIBBED, DARK GREEN The smooth or slightly 

 crumpled leaves are dark glossy green; stem and midribs 

 broad and comparatively thick. Distinct from other chards 

 and favored by many because of its superior flavor. 

 Pkt. 5c; oz. 15c; 1/4 lb. 40c; lb. $1.10. 



LUCULLUS, DARK GREEN The fleshy crumpled leaves of 

 this variety make very choice greens. Plant erect; stalks 

 rounded and finely ribbed ; foliage a rich deep green. 

 Pkt. 5c; oz. 15c; 1/4 lb. 40c; lb. $1.10. 



SUGAR BEET 



Sugar beets are desirable not only for sugar making but for 

 stock feeding, and when small they may be used for the table. 

 The soil producing best results is a rich, friable sand or clay 

 loam. Cultivation is the same as for Mangel Wurzel. 



KLEIN WANZLEBEN The most desirable beet for sugar manu- 

 facture; valuable for stock feeding. Roots medium large; 12 

 to 15 inches long, 33^2 to 4 inches at shoulder, tapered; white 

 with a tinge of gray; very rich in sugar content; good 

 keeper. 

 Pkt. 5c; 2 oz. 15c; 1/4 lb. 25c; lb. 75c. 



Over-cooking destroys the shape, color, and delicate flavor of Green Sprouting broccoli. Fifteen or twenty minutes are enough.
