Swiss Chard 
(Sea Kale Beet) 
There are a number of varieties of Swiss 
Chard. The one we offer is known as Per¬ 
petual Spinach, grown for us by European 
seed growers; not the mixed sugar beet and 
Swiss chard, but the genuine true stock. 
Used exclusively for its stalk and leaves 
which when cooked as spinach are tender and 
wholesome. They can be cut for two years, 
which makes them valuable for poultry keep¬ 
ers, as the Swiss chard will produce more food 
on a given space than lettuce or kale. 
LARGE RIBBED WHITE. Sometimes called 
“Spinach Beet.” Used for greens for chick¬ 
ens by cutting the stem and leaf, which are 
also very ornamental. It resembles an or¬ 
namental beet top, but has no edible root. 
May be used as a salad or cooked greens. 
Per package, 5c; oz., 15c; lb., $1.00. 
GIANT LUCULLUS. This is the largest

for Luxuriant Shrubs and Trees 
Brussels Sprouts 
The plants are very hardy and grow from 
2 to 3 feet high, bearing a large mass of 
leaves at the top. The sides of the main stem 
are covered with three or four dozen small 
cabbage heads, which are broken off and 
cooked the same as cabbage. The sprouts 
mature in succession. Sow early so as to have 
well grown plants by fall. 
IMPROVED HALF DWARF. Grows 2 to 3 
feet high and is well covered with small, 
firm sprouts. Per package, 5c. 
Cabbage 
Good cabbages are to be had at all seasons 
of the year in some parts of the country; and 
seed can be planted almost any time of the 
year. However, there are three good seasons 
for sowing the seed; In September for late 
winter and early spring cabbages, in March 
for summer and fall cabbages, and in June 
and July for winter cabbages. The seed 
sprouts quickly and is likely to come up very 
thick in the seed-bed. It should be thinned 
early and each plant given plenty of space or 
the plants will become spindling, and then do 
not head well. Never let the plants get 
checked by drought. Transplant to the field 
when 4 to 5 inches high, and press the soil 
closely about the plants. They should be put 
18 to 24 inches apart, in rows 24 to 36 inches 
apart. To prevent the heads splitting open in 
the field before they are ready to be harvested, 
the plants should be loosened a little at the 
root. Cabbages require considerable moisture, 
but too much water causes them to rot very 
readily.
