spinach in appearance and flavor. It makes strong plants which 
resist heat and give an abundance of rich green foliage all during 
the summer and fall. Sends out fresh growth continuously after 
being cut so that a supply of ‘‘greens’’ may be had until frost 
destroys the plants. Both the young stem tips and leaves are 
fleshy and brittle and of the finest quality when cooked. Plants 
are not hardy; they attain a spread of 4 ft. when fully grown.
