is not planted to any extent in the South as 

 there is not much demand for it; although 

 it makes a splendid dish if served as a salad 



CHBRVII/. 



CERFErilv (Fr.), KERBELKRAUT (Ger.]. CERFOGIvIO (Ita). 

 An aromatic plant, used a good deal for seasoning, especiall}- in 03'ster soup, and is 

 often cut between Lettuce when served as a salad. In the North this vegetable is very 

 little known, but in this section there is hardly a garden where it is not found. Sow broad- 

 cast during fall for winter and spring, and in January and February for summer use. 



COLI/ARDS. 



A kind of cabbage which does not head, but the leaves are used the same as other 

 cabbage. Not so popular as in former years, and very little planted in this vicinity. 



CORN SALAD. 



Mache. Doucet (Fr.). Acker Salat (Ger.). Valeriana (Sp. ). Vai.erianei.i.o (Ita.) 

 Broad-leaved Corn Salad is the variety general i}- cultivated. It is used as a salad dur- 

 ing the winter and early spring months. Should be sown broad-cast or in drills nine 

 inches apart during fall and winter.

Indian or Maize. 



Mais (Fr.), Wei^chkorn (Ger.), Maiz (Sp.), Maiz. Graxturco (Ita.) 



Plant in hills about three feet apart, drop four or five seeds and thin out to two or 



three. Where the ground is strong the Adam's Extra Eirly and Crosby's Sugar can be 



planted in hills two and a half feet apart, as these two varieties are more dwarfish than 



the other kinds. Plant for a succession from February to June.

Bxtra Early or Crosby's Dwarf 



Sugar. This is a very tender variety and 

 of excellent quality. Ears small, but very 

 ender. It is not so extensively planted as 

 it deserves to be. 



Early Sugar or New England. A 



long eight-rowed variety, which succeeds 

 the Extra Early sorts. Desirable kind. 



StowePs Evergreen Sug;ar. This is 



the best of all Sugar Corn. It is early, the 

 ears are of large size, and are well filled. It 

 remainsgreen longer than any other variety, 

 and is quite productive. The cultivation of 

 this excellent cereal, as well as all other 

 Sugar Corn, is much neglected, yet why 

 people will plant common field-corn for table 

 use, considering size instead of quality, we 

 cannot understand. 



Adam's Extra Early. The earliest 

 kind, but ears are small, and it is not as de- 

 sirable as the Adam's Early, which follows 

 this variety closely in maturit}-. 



Adam's Early. This is almost exclusi- 

 vely planted for the first roasting ears by 

 the market gardeners. The ears are of good 

 size, but otherwise for the table only, same 

 as common corn. Strange to say. the 

 gardeners do not plant any sugar corn for 

 the market. We sell hundreds of bushels of 

 St. Charles and other varieties of field corn;
