Swiss Chard, Lucullus 
Swiss Chard 
Lucullus. Very large and distinct variety of Swiss Chard, 
Sea Kale or Asparagus Beet. The stalks are as thick 
and broad as Rhubarb. The stalks grow to a height 
of from 2 to 24% feet, and leaves are from 10 to 12 
inches long and 1% inches broad. This is not only 
the handsomest, but is one of the best varieties of this 
desirable salad. The outside leaves of Swiss Chard 
are used as “boiling greens” and are excellent for 
this purpose. The large, white stalks are used like 
Asparagus; they are boiled and served in melted but- 
ter or milk dressing and are fully as delicious and 
even more tender than Asparagus. The extra large 
leaves of thick texture are heavily crumpled or 
“savoyed” and of fine flavor. Pkt., 8c; oz., 18c: % lb., 
60c: 1 lb., $2.00.
