Chantenay—one of the earliest and choicest for home gardens. Chard SWISS CHARD I OR SPINACH BEET J Swiss Chard, a great yielder of Spinach greens all summer. A Beet, which forms no roots, but makes big tops. The mid-ribs of leaves may be boiled and served like Asparagus, while the green portion of each leaf makes delicious Spinach greens. A 15 foot row yields about all the Spinach greens a family of five can use between July 1st and frost. 441 Lucullus. This variety is so vastly superior to any of the other types that we have discontinued all but this. Every garden should have chard of this va- riety. Similar to Spinach in flavor and many think it superior as a delicacy. Prepare for use similar to Spinach. The white stalks or midribs are also cooked like Asparagus. The leaves of this strain are heavily crumpled, tender, delicious flavor. Can be cut through and seasoned. Grows 2 to 2\ ft. high. Does well in hot weather. It yields a constant crop from June to Winter. Can be cut down to the ground, new shoots will then start again from the roots. Ready to use in about 60 days.
