SWISS CHARD 
A Cheap Feed for Poultry 
SWISS CHARD—“CUT AND COME AGAIN” 
This vegetable gives maximum returns for little care and 
space; it. yields a constant crop from July to winter. If your 
garden space is limited, Swiss Chard must have a place, for 
in proportion to ground occupied, Swiss Chard produces more 
food for the table than almosb any other vegetable. The 
leaves are used for greens the same as spinach or beet tops. 
Sow early in spring, in rows 16 inches apart, and thin out to 
6 inches in the rows. It can be used all summer when spinach 
is not available. The leaves grow very large, with broad, flat 
pure white stems, and mid-ribs, which may be cooked like 
asparagus, or made into very good pickles. As it grows, thin 
out for use and keep clear of weeds. Good cultivation in¬ 
creases its tenderness. Gardeners use Swiss Chard as a catch 
crop, giving quick results on temporarily idle spaces. The 
investment is small and returns large. Plct., 6c; oz., 10c;

LUCULLUS SWISS CHARD—A new Moss Curled sort, 
very large leaves. The mid-ribs are very broad and form a 
good substitute for asparagus during the summer months.

GIANT HALF-SUGAR—This magnificent half-sugar beet 
while giving nearly as large a yield of easily grown and har¬ 
vested roots as a crop of mammoth Long Red Mangels, supplies 
a food of very much higher nutritive value, the roots for 
feeding purposes being really more valuable, pound for pound, 
than those of the very best strains of sugar beet, and the 
yield under equally favorable conditions is more than double. 
The roots grow partly out of the ground and crop can be 
harvested and stored at less expense. We are certain that 
everyone who plants this variety and grows it with care will 
be much pleased. A very extra good one for Utah and sur¬ 
rounding states. 
• To the Stockgrowers: 
We wish to call special attention to stock beets and 
carrots as a feed for cattle, horses, hogs, sheep, etc. 
Mangel or stock beets and sugar beets yield from 30 
to 50 tons per acre, and we consider a ton of them as 
valuable for feed as a ton of hay. With a little extra 
work they can be kept all winter and there is nothing 
that produces as much milk as beets and carrots—car¬ 
rots add that splendid color to butter which helps 
bring the price. 
We would advise extensive planting. The best ones 
are Giant-Half Sugar, Large Red Mangel and Golden 
Tankard beets; Yellow and White Belgian, and Long 
Orange carrots. 
Do not fail to include these in your order for seeds 
for spring planting. 
SUGAR BEETS 
Usually planted for sugar making. On account of 
the amount of saccharine contained in the Sugar Beet, 
it is much relished by stock, and as a fattener it is very 
desirable, but does not yield the tonnage that is common 
with the regular Mangel Wurtzels and the Half-Sugar 
Stock Beets. Culture same as stock beets. 
Klein Wenzleben—This variety is the best in cul¬ 
tivation not largest, but richest in saccharine.
