_ Tampala, as a cooked, canned or 
_ quickly frozen green, is, in the opinion 
ie many, far superior to spinach or 
Swiss Chard. Its color is more appe- 
tizing, its flavor more delicious, shrinks 
ery little, holds its color better, and 
equires less EM and washing 
ome warm. Within 6 to 8 weeks from sowing, 
Tampala is ready to use when the entire plants 
nake the most delicious ‘‘greens,”’ either eaten 
raw as a salad or cooked as you would spinach. 
For a continuous supply of the most tender 
leaves, make several successive sowings 10 
days to 2 weeks apart and use young plants 
when 6 to 10 in. tall. However, a plant may be 
AS left every 2 ft. and leaves picked as they ma- 
ture. So tender are the leaves that they re- 
quire only 5 minutes to cook with just the 
water that clings to them when washed. 
‘Stems are cooked like asparagus for 8 to 10 
minutes or a little longer, depending on size; 
_ they have a flavor suggestive of artichokes.
