Book Description

Excerpt from Seeds From the Flower City Giant Lucullus. (see cut.) A vegetable of many fine qualities not well known in the home garden, but which should be more widely planted. Grown exclusively for the numerous, fleshy, tender leaves and leaf stalks, which, for use as greens, are superior to those of other Beets. Later in the season the wax-like leaf-stems are cooked like asparagus or are pickled. Seed planted early in the spring will produce plants from which cuttings may be made all summer, as you can cut right down to the ground, and new shoots will spring up and make a fast growth. Every garden should have a few rows of this desirable vegetable. Make sow ings every 10 days and have greens all season long. Pkg. 100, oz. 150, 174 lb. 350, lb. Large-ribbed Silver Brazilian. Light colored leaves in great abundance. Mild flavor. Pkg. 100, oz. 150, 14 lb. 350, lb. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
