Nurseries (Horticulture) Pennsylvania Pittsburgh Catalogs; Nursery stock Pennsylvania Pittsburgh Catalogs; Vegetables Seeds Pennsylvania Pittsburgh Catalogs; Flowers Seeds Pennsylvania Pittsburgh Catalogs; Bulbs (Plants) Pennsylvania Pittsburgh Catalo. Norfolk Savoy Spinach. NEW ZEALAND SPINACH. SWISS CHARD, or SPINACH BEET Lucullus Swiss Chard 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 midribs, 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 deli- flavor, much to be preferred to ordinary Beet greens. Swiss Chard is grown in much the same manner as Beets except that the seedlings 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. 15 cts., Vilb- 35 cts., lb. $ LARGE SILVER-RIBBED. Larger growing than Lucullus, with smooth, or slightly crinkled, light green leaves and broad, white ribs. Pkt. 10 cts., oz. 15 cts., Vilb. 40 cts., lb. $ 30.
