SWISS CHARD 
-LUCULLUS. To our mind the best vegetable that can be raised 
for greens. The crumpled, rich green outside leaves are picked 
off and the plant: yields a constant crop from July well into 
September. The leaves are large and picking a mess of Swiss 
Chard for greens is short work. The thick broad stems may be 
cooked like asparagus or used for pickles. This is the most 
popular sort and gives big returns mith dittle/care. PK. 7c}
