Many gardeners mix a few radish SEEDS

While beets may be thinned the first

a delicious dish, the plants which are

Grow and Feat Greens For
Nutritious Diet

If you don't like spinach, there are
which you can grow in your Victory
garden. But if none in the list that
follows is to your liking, then something
should be done about It. ktF
Green, leafy, red and yellow vege-
tables are the vitamin-rich foods so
essential to nutrition. They are rich
especially in Vitamin A. At least one
| should be served ont your table every
day, and those who do not like them
| should eat them In spite Of that, say
the nutritionists.
Some green leafy vegetables can be
served raw in salads, others are cooked,
and among these are the greens so
highly esteemed as spring tonics by our
grandmothers, who did not know about
vitamins, but did know that greens were
healthful.

There are several varieties of mustard,
Southern Curled, and Florida Broad
leaf are the 2 leading favorites, matur-
ing in 80 to 40 days, which are popular
for greens.
Spinach takes longer to mature-4s to

can be worked, in rows a foot apart,

Swiss chard is a species of beet which
produces Insignificant root, but luxuri-
ant broad leaves, which have a distinct
i've flavor which many like better thar
other greens.
New Zealand spinach is not a spinach,
but a tropical plant which botanists call
t~etrogonia expansa. 1t should not be
sown until the ground is fairly warm,
and then it should be given plenty OF
room, 2 to 3 feet between plants.

Planting Beet and Swiss Chard Seed

Planting Beet and Swiss Chard Seed
Tap packet with finger to make seed
drop into drill. On way to sow seeds
is to tear off the end Of the packet, and
hold it so that by tapping it with the
index finger, seeds can be dropped into
the drill at the desired rate.
Small seeds are likely to be sown too
thickly by this method, though with
practice it can be controlled. 1t works
well with larger seeds, such as beet and
Swiss chard, which are too small to be
handled singly, yet too large to be
easily dropped through the fingers.
Bee and Swiss chard seeds look alike,
chard being a type of beet grown for
it's leaves, which are rich in Vitamin A.
