W. H. Henderson’s New 
“•Crimson Giant” Chard 
A cross between the sweet sugar beet and Swiss chard. The leaves are as deeply crimped 
and pitted as a Savory cabbage. Nothing in the garden can be as easily raised, and no other 
vegetable produces such a large and continuous supply of delicious and healthful succulent food. 
Very beautiful and highly ornamental in the garden. Visitors to my gardens are enthusiastic 
in the praise of its value as an ornamental plant. It is more delicious than the best garden spin¬ 
ach. The leaves of this new "Crimson Giant" are of a rich dark green color, often 24 inches 
long and are crisp and tender. The leaf stalks are also very edible, and should be cooked with 
the leaves. The stalks are rich crimson in color, and average 2 feet in length. The plant reminds 
one of a well-grown rhubarb. The color is retained if cooked over a quick fire about twenty 
minutes. 50c per packet; $2.50 an ounce. 
All prices in this catalogue include free delivery to any part oj the United States 
(except where noted).
