COLLARDS 
This is a tall, loose leaved cabbage-like or kale-like plant grown throughout the south and known in different sections as 
“Cole,” ‘‘Colewort,” or simply ‘‘Greens.”’ It is extensively used for the table as well as for stock feeding in the south where it 
continues in growth and is usable throughout the entire winter. Collards usually succeed in locations where cabbage cannot 
be grown to perfection. 
Sow the seed thickly in drills, in rich ground, transplanting when about four inches high; or sow in drills where the plants 
are to remain and when well started thin to two or three feet apart inthe row. In the south, seed may be sown from January 
to May and from August to October. ' 
° This is the white or green stemmed variety, growing two to three feet high and 
Georgia, Southern or Creole forming a large, loose, open head or cluster of leaves with a rather long stem. A 
frost, if not too severe, will improve rather than injure the quality of the leaves. Pkt. 10c; Oz. 15c; 2 Oz. 20c; % Lb. 30c;

SWEET OR TABLE VARIETIES 
A rich, warm, alluvial soilis the best, but excellent sweet corn can be raised on any good, ordinary soil, if it is deeply and 
thoroughly worked before planting. In the north sweet corn may be planted as early as can be done without risking great 
loss from frosts or from rotting of the seed in the soil, but with the main crop varieties especially, it is well to wait until the 
sround has become warm as the sweeter varieties are more sensitive to cold and wet than field corn or varieties of inferior 
quality. 
If planted in rows, make the rows three to four feet apart, according to the vigor of growth of the variety, and place 
the seed twelve to sixteen inches apart in the row, covering one inch deep with fine soil firmly pressed down. 
If planted in hills, make the hills for the early varieties three feet apart each way and plant four to six kernels to the hill. 
For the later sorts the hills should be three and one-half to four feet apart each way. Hoe frequently and when six inches 
high phin so as to leave three or four plants in the hill. Give frequent and thorough but shallow cultivation until the 
tassels appear. 
= Al h The earliest sweet corn. Matures a week to ten days ahead of Mammoth White 
PMNa Cory. The ears average six to seven inches long, are uniformly eight rowed, 
fully equal in quality to Mammoth White Cory with skin a trifle more tender. The stalks 
are very uniform in height averaging about four feet. Ears are set low and close to the 
stalks. For the market grower who reaps an extra profit by getting his produce on the 
market ahead of his competitors this will be a money-maker; for the home gardener 
it will produce desirable ears for the table a week ahead of the next earliest variety.

large for so early a variety. The stalks are about four feet high, each generally bearing

rowed, six to seven inches long, very symmetrical and handsome, seldom with any open- 
ing between the rows at the base. The grain is large, broad, very white and of remark-

—— half feet high. The ears are about eight inches long and are usually eight rowed. Pkt.
