Lucullus Swiss Chard SWISS CHARD or SPINACH BEET It is only in recent years that Swiss Chard has received the attention that it deserves, but now that home gardeners are beginning to appreciate its many valuable qualities, it is growing in popularity at a remarkable rate. Swiss Chard is a type of Beet growing all to top instead of root. The leaves are long and broad with thick stalks and mid- ribs, and are produced in great abundance. The leafy portion on either side of the midribs is cooked like Spinach, while the stalks and midribs are cut up and served like stewed Celery. Both are of delicious flavor, much to be preferred to ordinary Beet greens. Swiss Chard is grown in much the same manner as Beets except that the seed- lings should be thinned to stand a foot apart. LUCULLUS. The most popular variety. Leaves attractively crinkled and curled, and of extra-fine quality. Plants grow about 2 feet tall. Pkt. 10 cts., oz. 20 cts., U lb. 50 cts., lb. $ LARGE SILVER-RIBBED. Larger growing than Lucul- lus, with smooth, or slightly crinkled, light green leaves and broad, white ribs.
