Salsify or Oyster Plant Swiss Chard, or Spinach Beet Norfolk Savoy Spinach. The remarkable demand on the part of our customers for this exception- ally meritorious vegetable proves to our satisfaction that it is finally receiv- ing that degree of attention which its many valuable characteristics deserve. Swiss Chard is a type of Beet growing all tops. The tops consist of strong ribs or leaf-stalks which support the very large leafy portion of the plant. Cooked like Spinach Greens, the leafy portion of Swiss Chard is of most excellent flavor. The stalks are cooked in a similar fashion and served with a dressing as you would prepare asparagus. Thus Swiss Chard really gives you two vegetables in one. Plant the seeds the same as ordinary Beet seeds, but thin out plants to stand, first 6 inches, later on a foot apart. Lucullus. (See illustration alongside.) The leaves of this variety are attractively crinkled and curled, as shown in speci- men plant. Stalks grow about 2 feet tall and furnish immense quantities of tasty greens. Pkts. 5 cts. and 10 cts., oz. 20 cts., V4lb. 70 cts., lb. $ Large Silver-ribbed Curled.
