SWISS CHARD or Spinach Beet 
Biesskohl (Ger.) Bieta (It.) 
A packet of seed will sow 15 feet of row; an ounce 50 feet. 
Swiss Chard is really a beet grown for its leaves. The entire leaves 
may be boiled and served as spinach or the midrib cooked alone; either 
are delicious. Sown in the spring the leaves are soon ready to eat and if 
cut will continue to grow and produce tender young leaves all summer and 
fall. If given a little protection it will survive the winter and make ex¬ 
cellent greens early in the spring. 
FORDHOOK GIANT The ® est Variety. The leaves are 
---- dark green, very large, much curled 
or “Savoyed,” thick of texture and quite tender making excellent boil¬ 
ing greens. The stems are pure white, broad and thick and make an 
excellent vegetable when cooked separately. We have the true stock.

Lucullus. This is the old standard variety still preferred by many 
people, because of the line quality. It is a very large variety with

green in color. The plants grow nearly 2 feet high and the leaves are 
very large and of fine quality.

Spinach may be sown very early in the spring. It will be ready for use 
in four or five weeks after sowing. For fall use sow August 1st, and to 
winter over sow about September 1st in this latitude, and later further 
south. 
Spinach runs to seed quickly in hot weather, so the seed should be sown 
early in the spring or late in the summer in order to avoid having the crop 
mature in July or August. If sown about August 1st, spinach will grow 
large and can be used from the first of September until the ground freezes. 
VIKING (NEW.) Early—Large—Dark Green—Long Standing. 
-- The plant resembles Nobel Giant Leaf in growth The 
leaves are very large, more crumpled, darker green, and quite tender 
and of excellent quality. This spinach grows so fast that it is ready 
before most other kinds. It is so large that in fact, you can start to 
cut it when it’s only about two-thirds grown. 
When fully grown it attains an enormous size but still retains its 
fine tender quality. This is a long standing variety and is finding an 
important place in both home and commercial gardens.

NOBEL GIANT LEAVED. This spinach has proved a remarkably line, 
variety both for home and market. It is very early and is so large and 
grows so rapidly that it can be cut before most other kinds are ready. 
It will stand a long time without bolting to seed, even if the weather 
becomes hot and dry. 
The leaves are nearly twice as large as the old kinds, handsome, 
medium dark green, quite thick, and smoother than the Savoy types.

BLIGHT-RESISTANT SAVOY. Grow this variety for Fall Crops. 
This strain of Norfolk or Bloomsdale Savoy is quite resistant to the 
blight or “yellows” which is destructive in some localities. A valuable 
variety in localities where blight injures fall spinach. 
Although no spinach of this class will stand a long lime when sowai 
in the spring, our strain stands without bolting three or four days longer 
than most stocks, and is the most uniform stock of this variety grown.

spinach is a cross between Blight Resistant Savoy and King of Den¬ 
mark. It has the large dark green crumpled leaf of the Savoy and 
stands up longer than other Blight Resistant kinds. This variety yields 
large crops and holds up well when cut. It is a very valuable kind for 
spring sowing in places where spinach blights.

New Zealand Spinach 
Although this is not a true spinach, it has become one of the most 
popular summer “greens.” The leaves resemble spinach and are produced 
in abundance on stems a foot or more in length. It will grow during 
hot dry weather when other spinach would fail entirely and a few feet 
of row in the garden will furnish nice “greens” all summer. The seed is 
slow to germinate and should be soaked 24 hours before planting.
