I know a good gardener who plants his 
melons, squash and cucumbers twice, whether 
they need it or not. First planting is made 
early. If escapes frost, he has an early start. 
But the second planting is in same rows, but 
made a week or so later. In case the first 
planting freezes off, the second one is there 
all ready to pop through, and comes on earlier 
than if the patch were replanted after frost. 
Cost of seed is a small item compared with 
results from early crop. If both lots escape 
frost, the late one is hoed out. Looks to me 
like a mighty good plan. 
Spinach, Prepaid 
All Spinach: BARGE PKT. 5c; Oz. 10c. 
BI.OOMSDAI.E, SAVOY LEAVED. One of the

Swiss Chard, 
Prepaid 
SWISS CHARD —Alias Spinach Beet, Aspara- 
bus Beet, “Chicken’s Delight.” Leaves may 
be cooked for “greens” like spinach. The 
stalks may be cut lengthwise and crosswise, 
the quartered pieces then boiled and served 
in butter or milk dressing like asparagus. 
Grow plenty and feed surplus to the chick¬ 
ens. They like Swiss Chard and thrive on 
it. Don’t dig up the root or cut off all the 
top. Pull off the outside stalks. Others will 
keep forming from heart of plant. Grows in 
hot weather when spinach lies down on the 
job. Stands a lot of freezing in fall and 
still keeps growing. Really a wonderful and 
useful vegetable. Large pkt. 5c: oz. 15c; 
% lb. 35c; lb. $1.00, prepaid.
