SWISS CHARD for GREENS 
The Cut and Come Again Spinach Beet 
“1 oz. for 100 ft. row—7 lbs. per acre” 
Provides “Greens” from Early Spring: Until Frost 
The outside vleaves of Swiss Chard are used as “boiling 
greens” and are excellent for this purpose. They closely re¬ 
semble spinach in flavor, but are declared by connoisseurs to 
be even finer. The large white stalks are used like aspara¬ 
gus; they are boiled and served in melted butter or milk 
dressing and are fully as delicious as asparagus. Swiss Chard 
grows well even during hot weather when spinach fails.

The value of Mangels for stock 
feeding is clearly seen in the im¬ 
proved health and condition of the 
animals, the increased flow and qual¬ 
ity of milk from cows, and the sav¬ 
ing in fodder. They yield enormously 
and can. be grown at trifling cost.
