SPECIALTIES '"VEGETABLE SEED! 



Lyons Swiss Chard 



1 69 An excellent and most useful vegetable, a row or two of which should be 

 in every garden. This variety will quickly produce plants from which 

 leaves may be cut all summer, as you can cut right down to the ground, 

 and new shoots will soon spring up and make a fast growth. Those 

 plants which are allowed to grow will make large crumpled and curly 

 dark green leaves with thick white mid-ribs, which are delicious when 

 cooked and served like asparagus, while the leafy parts make excellent 

 "greens." Pkt., 10 cts.; oz., 20 cts.; J lb., 45 cts.;lb., $1.25.

 adapted for sauer-kraut on account of its large size and fine white interior 

 quality. Pkt., 20 cts.; J oz., 60 cts.; oz., $1.00; J lb., $3.50.

 tomers in many sections; and the report is alike from each. 

 "The best they ever grew." It is dwarf, with short outer 

 leaves and can be planted close, 2 feet apart each way. It 

 always makes a fine, large and exceedingly beautiful snowy
