Swiss Chard or Spinach Beet, Lucullus 
SWISS CHARD or 
SPINACH BEET 
Swiss Chard is grown for greens, the 
large well developed outer leaves being 
picked from time to time. Seed should 
be sown from February to July in rows 
18 inches apart and plants thinned 8 
to 10 inches apart. The earlier the seed 
is sown in the spring the longer will be 
the bearing season. Soil requirements 
and cultural conditions are otherwise 
the same as for Beets. The splendid 
broad white mid-rib as well as the rich 
leafy portion is highly prized as a 
table vegetable, being used as a sub¬ 
stitute for Spinach and is cooked in 
much the same manner. Chard also is 
excellent for chickens.
