Lucullus Swiss Chard
To our mind the best vegetable that can be raised for greens. The crumpled, rich green outside leaves are picked off and the plant yields a constant crop from July well into September. The leaves are large and picking a mess of Swiss Chard for greens is short work. The thick broad stems may be cooked like asparagus or used for pickles. This is the most popular sort and gives big returns with little care. Pkt., 7c; oz., 15c; 1/4lb., 45c; 1/2lb., 70c; 1lb., $1.20, postpaid.

Lucullus Swiss Chard
Grows about two and a half feet high. The heavy stalks are over an inch thick and bear for more than a foot of their length. Should be served as you would asparagus.

Lucullus Swiss Chard
The plants grow to a height of two to two and one-half feet. The stalks are as thick and broad as those of Rhubarb, being one and one-half inches broad, heavily ribbed, and from ten to twelve inches long below the leaf. These stalks are delicious when cooked and served in the same manner as asparagus. The extra large leaves of thick texture are heavily crumpled or “savoyed” and of fine flavor. Pkt., 10c; oz., 20c.
