GIANT LUCULLUS. This Swiss Chard or Spinach Beet 
is prepared for the table in the same manner as 
Spinach; sometimes, however, the mid-rib is prepared 
like asparagus. Seed planted early in the spring will 
quickly produce plants from which cuttings may be 
made all summer, as you can cut right down to the 
ground and new shoots will soon spring up and make 
a fast growth, while those plants which are allowed 
to grow on without any cutting will make large, curly 
leaves, with thick, light colored mid-ribs which are 
delicious when cooked and served like asparagus. Pkt., 
10 c; ox., 15c; Va lb., 35c; lb., $1.00.
