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.

 somewhat waved but smooth, and of a medium light 

 yellowish-green. The stalks are broad and flattened, but 

 tender and succulent. 

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