RUTABAGA 
Rutabagas are also known as Swedish Turnips, Swedes, or Rus- 
sian Turnips. They have firmer flesh than turnips, however, are 
more solid, and hence keep later into spring. Like turnips, they 
are excellent for both table use and for stock feeding. They are 
also good as a rotation crop.

that produces its excellent 
greens in mid-summer, when 
spinach bolts to seed, and 
much finer than Swiss Chard.

ness for a long time, in fact it 
cook. The branches 4 to 5 in. 
long may be gathered instead 
of individual leaves and the 
young stem tips and leaves 
may be cooked together. 
Larger stems (as thick as 
one’s finger) may be separated 
and cooked 10° minutes like 
asparagus. -Or use Tampala 
in salads, instead of lettuce.

TASTYGREEN 
Mustard Spinach 
Tastygreen, the wonder vege- 
table, is rich in protein, mineral 
matter, and other elements so 
necessary to the development and 
maintenance of the human sys- 
tem. “Greens” are highly essen- 
tial to our well-being, and of 
these, Spinach is perhaps the 
most widely planted and the most 
widely used, although unpalata- 
ble to many. 
Tastygreen, the wonder vege- 
table, is far superior to Spinach 
or any of the other greens, and 
has a delicious flavor all its own, 
slightly and agreeably pungent 
with a Mustard taste when served 
hot, and when eaten raw, the fla- 
vor somewhat resembling raw 
Turnips. Tastygreen has small 
thin roots, about two inches long, 
and large oblong shaped leaves, 
rich dark green color, with a 
narrow white center rib. The 
leaves, stem and all, are prepared 
for table use in the same manner 
as Spinach or Turnip greens. It 
is very prolific and bears abun- 
dantly. The plants grow quickly 
and are ready to use in 21 to 22 
days after planting. 1107—Pk¢g.,
