row as the turnip-shaped varieties.

Egyptian, but not as deep a red in color. This is an especially 
desirable sort for the home garden and bunching. The roots 
are smooth and round with a small tap root and collar. The

SWISS CHARD, or Spinach Beet

table. The leaves are also cooked like spinach and considered
