 sandy loam, well pulverized and deeply cultivated. For an early 

 crop sow in May and June in drills about 1 foot apart, thinning 

 out to 4 inches in the row ; sow for winter crop in June and July. 

 It is very important to tread the rows firmly after sowing the seed.

Rapid Growing. Produces a 

 large head at center of plant 

 in about ninety days froml 

 date of planting. Resem- 

 bles cauliflower only in 

 shape or formation as the 

 color is dull bluish green. 

 After the center head is re- 

 moved, the plant produces 

 many branches each bearing 

 smaller terminals and lat- 

 eral heads which are as fully 

 desirable as the first heads 

 produced. If these heads 

 are gathered as soon as they n 

 become large enough forj 

 use, the plant will continue 

 to produce for a period of 

 from eight to ten weeks. If 

 served in the same way as 

 asparagus makes a very 

 tasty dish fully equal to 

 cauliflower. Sow in the 

 Spring, Summer or Fall and 

 cultivate same as cauliflower.

A great many people look upon

 some jokingly refer to it, as something 

 not worth while growing. Now there are thousands of collard patches 

 scattered over the South, and most Southern people like them. The col- 

 lard is an old-time favorite, adapted to all parts of the South, and aa »< 

 producer of "greens" for boiling in winter and spring it hag no equal. \ 

 It will pay you to have a collard patch just to give your cows an occa- 

 sional taste of "green stuff." Sow any time up to September Ist. 



211. Southern or Georgia. This variety is the old- 

 time favorite. Stands all sorts of adverse conditions with- 

 out injury. It is very hardy, standing winters as far north 

 as Atlanta. In many places where the soil is too poor to 

 grow cabbage, the collard grows easily and makes a good 

 substitute for cabbage. Pkt. lOcts.; oz. 15 cts.; 34 lb. 25 cts.;
