The Best Vegetable for All-Season Greens 
SWISS CHARD 
Swiss Chard is really a beet 
grown for its leaves. The en- 
tire leaf may be boiled and 
served as spinach or the mid- 
rib cooked alone; either way 
it is excellent. Sown in the 
Spring, the leaves are soon 
ready to eat, and if cut will 
continue to grow and produce 
tender young leaves all Sum- 
mer and Fall. If given a 
little protection it will sur- 
vive the Winter and make un- 
usually good greens early in 
the Spring.

April in drills 114 feet apart and cover 114 “2 2 
inches deep. Thin to 6 inches apart. 1 pkt. sows a 15-ft. row; 1 02., 50 ft.
