Swiss CItard 
(Spinach Beet) 
Keep Fit—Eat Plenty of Swiss Chard., 
An easily grown Beet which forms 
no roots, but makes big tops. After 
once having used Swiss Chard for 
greens, we believe your garden will 
always have at least a row, for the 
fleshy leaves are so tender and de¬ 
licious. Not only are the 
leaves an excellent substitute 
for spinach, but the large 
white ribs may be boiled and 
creamed like aspara g u s. 
Swiss Chard is a very hardy 
plant, it may be sown early g 
and will yield until late Fall. 
One ounce to 100 feet of 
drill; 4 lbs. per acre. h
