VEGETABLE SEEDS 

SWISS CHARD 
Swiss Chard is one of the easiest vegetables to grow. Plant- 
ed in the springtime it will grow one whole year before run- 
ning to seed, and produce an abundance of green leaves the 
whole year. The broad, white stalks can be cooked like aspar- 
agus and the green leaves used the same as spinach. In pick- 
ing always pick the largest outside leaves and the plant will 
continue to produce leaves from the center. It is also one of 
the best greens to plant for poultry, as it will produce more 
greens with less care and through a longer season than any- 
thing else. 
White. Grown for the leaves only, and cooked like spinach. 
The midrib is prepared like asparagus. It is hardy and pro- 
ductive, with broad green leaves and large white midribs or 
chards of excellent quality; sown: at different seasons of the 
year, giving successive greens. Pkt. 5c; oz. 10c; %4 Ib. 25c; 
Ib. 75e. 
Lucullus. A peculiarly delicious variety having green leaves 
which are remarkably crimped and curled, like savoy-leaved 
cabbage. The chards are white and broad but not so broad as 
the common variety, although equally fine in flavor. Pkt. 5e; 
oz. 10c; %4 Ib. 25e; Ib. 75e. 

SWISS CHARD 
COLLARDS 
Georgia, Southern or Creole. Non-heading form of the cab- 
bage family very generally grown for greens in home and 
market gardens in the South. Plant 2 to 3 feet tall, erect, 
spreading, and with numerous large leaves; forms at the top 
a loose cluster or head of tender leaves. Pkt. 5c; oz. 10c; %4 
Ib. 30e; Ib. 80c. 
CHERVIL 
Curled. Similar to parsley, but of more delicate texture. Leaves 
bright, rich green; finely divided and curled; pungent, aro- 
matic; used for garnishing and flavoring. Pkt. 5e; oz. 15¢; 
% Ib. 60c; Ib. $2.00. 
CHIVES 
Allium Schoenoprasum. Small perennial of the onion family; 
readily propagated from seeds; leaves used in salads and for 
flavoring soups and stews; flowering plant is decorative. Pkt. 
5e; oz. 75e; 4 Ib. $1.50; Ib. $5.00. 
SWEET CORN 
One of the garden’s sweetest vegetables. Plant from Febru- 
ary 15th to August Ist, in rows 3 feet apart, drop 6 or 7 kernels 
in hills every 18 inches in the row and thin out to two of the 
healthiest plants in each hill when about 5 inches high. Break 
off all side shoots except the two top ones as they will produce 
the largest and best ears. Corn is at its very best when picked 
and eaten within an hour, but it is extremely important that 
it be picked just at the right time, especially when not too 
old. Frequent planting of several varieties in succession will 
keep a good supply available all summer.
