BROAD LEAVED (60 days) 
A hardy plant grown for its leaves, which are used as 
boiling “greens” or salad. Seed should be sown thinly in 
drills early in spring. When well started thin out to 
stand 4 to 6 inches apart in the row. The leaves can be 
gathered for use at any time after the plants are well 
started in growth, and the roots will continue to produce 
a further supply. The plant is entirely hardy, and, start- 
ing into growth early the following spring, will afford 
a large supply of fine “greens” quite early.

Slow growing, hardy; requires 150 to 180 days; better 
if frosted. 
Requires a well enriched, mellow soil, which, previous 
to sowing the seeds, should be stirred to a depth of 18 
inches. Sow early in the spring in drills 15 inches apart; 
cover the seed with fine soil 144 inches in depth, and 
when the plants are strong enough, thin out to 6 inches
