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. Dis- 

 tinct from other chards and favored by 

 manv because of its superior flavor.
