CRESS 



COLLARDS 



A great many people look upon the 

 lowly collard, or "Georgia Cabbage," as 

 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 partes of the South, and ai a 

 producer of "greens" for boiling in winter and spring it has 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 1st. 



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. 10 cts.; oz. 15 cts.; '4 lb. 30 cts.; 

 lb. 90 cts. 



CULTURE. Sow thickly in shallow drills every 2 

 or 3 weeks. It should be cut often, and it will con- 

 tinue to grow. It is useful not only for salad, but 

 for the breakfast table and for garnishing. True Water Cress should 

 be sown in damp soil ; or if a stream of water can be utilized they will 

 be much finer. They will also thrive well in damp hotbeds. Rightly 

 managed, their culture in very profitable. To obtain early salad, it is a 

 good plan to sow with Water Cress seed a strip 4 inches wide on the 

 outer margin of a hotbed, inside the frame, where it is always cool. 



270. True Water, it thrives when its roots and stems 

 are submerged in water. It is one of the most delicious of
