TAMPALA 
Better than Spinach. Generally accepted as the best green leafy vegetable. 
Leaves are coeked, prepared and served as ‘greens’ but Tampala is better 
than any of them in many respects. Tampala is of better quality—Tampala 
will not bolt to seed under hot weather conditions—Tampala will grow 
throughout the summer and produce an abundance of leaves with a delicious 
flavor all their own. 
To enjoy Tampala at its best, use entire plants when they are 5 or 6 in. 
high. For a continuous supply, make several successive sowings 10 days or 
2 weeks apart. If you prefer to grow large plants, space them 2 ft. apart and 
when of the size shown in picture at left, break off and use the clusters of 
leaves at tip of branches; then the plants will continue to produce all summer. 
Tampala leaves are dark green and of a most delicious flavor when 
cooked, prepared and served like spinach or other “greens.”
