1100 TENDER greens 
A new vegetable combining the delicious flavors and 
healthful qualities of spinach, mustard, and turnip- 
greens. It contains an abundance of protein, mineral 
matter, lime, and iron. Do not fail to plant this de¬ 
licious and tasty new vegetable in your garden. We 
believe that Tendergreen is going to become America’s 
most popular vegetable for “greens.” 
Tendergreen has small, thin roots, about 2 inches 
long, and large, succulent, oblong leaves, rich dark 
green in color, with narrow white center rib. 
leaves are prepared for table use in the 
same manner as spinach or turnip-tops. 
The small tap-root is not edible. It is 
very prolific and bears abundantly. The 
plants grow quickly and are ready for 
use in 21 to 25 days after planting. Slow 
to go to seed. Successive sowings may 
be made during the whole year. Flour¬ 
ishes during hot, dry summer weather 
and is resistant to drought and extreme 
cold. Use 3 to 4 pounds of seed per 
acre in rows (1 ounce of seed to 5 0 feet 
of row) with rows 2 to 2*4 feet apart. 
Customers should give Tendergreen a 
trial this year as everyone who has tried 
it pronounces it delicious. Pkt. 5c; oz. 
10c; x / 4 lb. 20c; lb. 60c; 5 lbs. $2.50.
