COLLARDS. 



Planted in Spring* and in Fall. 



Collards are scarcely known in any other 

 section of the country except the South, 

 where it origrinaed, and where it is culti- 

 vated more extensively than any other 

 vegetable, because it is well adapted to 

 that country and is always a sure crop. It 

 is almost a daily dish for rich or poor, and 

 for both man and beast. A dish of Collards 

 and Bacon or, as it is invariably called, 

 •'Bacon and Greens" always produces a 

 smile from the most crusty countenance. 

 It is a species of Cabbag-e, which is not 

 only very hardy, but a vigorous and con- 

 tinuous grower. Matures in 125 to 150 days. 

 One ounce to 2,500 plants; 6 ounces per 

 acre. Packet, 5c. and 10c. ; oz., 15c.; y^ lb., 

 25c.; lb., 75c., postpaid. 



CORN. 



Com is the most important food crop of the world for both; man or beast and to have 

 the best results, it is necessary to have first class Selected Seed to plant, and especially 

 of such varieties as have been found from experience to be best adapted for the South. 

 Cheap, poorly selected seed, usually produces a crop of very inferior quality so it always 

 pays to plant the best. We handle all the best varieties of Seed Corn, and have them 

 selected for us by growers who make this their business. 



CUIiTURE. — Plant in hills about three feet apart, drop four or five seeds and thin 

 out to two or three. Plant for a succession from February to June. Seed corn that Is 

 in perfect condition to-day may be unfit for use in three days, and we suggest that you 

 spread out all seed corn the moment it is received from any seed house or grower. The 

 following information was given us by an experienced Missouri farmer: The only way 

 to keep corn free from weevils in a crib is to put a gallon of coal oil at the four 

 corners of the crib, taking the corks off and allowing the oil to evaporate. The fumes 

 from the oil will keep away the weevils and will not impair the germination of the 

 corn in any wa^y. 1 ouart to 500 hills; 8 quarts to the acre. Matures in 50 to 110 days. 



Country Gentleman. 



SUGAR CORN. 



COUNTRY CrEBTTIiEMAIT. — A delicious 

 corn for family use. The ears are good 

 sized and produced in great abundance, 

 many stalks bearing three to five plump 

 ears. Its long, small, milky kernels are 

 full of sweetness, and as the cob is small, 

 and the corn white and tender, it is sure 

 to please. Recommended by the Louisiana 

 Agricultural Experiment Station for can- 

 ning. Packet, 10c. ; l^ lb., 20c.; 1 lb., 35c.; 

 2 lbs., 60c., postpaid; 11 lb. peck, $2.75; 44

Golden Bantam. 



GOIiBEN BANTAM. — For sweetness and 

 richness of flavor it has no equal. It is a 



hardy, early maturing variety of very dwarf 

 growth and can therefore be planted closer 

 than other sorts and through a longer range 

 of season. The cob is small, but fills out 

 nicely with large, deep, cream-colored ker- 

 nels, which turn to yellow when entirely 

 ripe. No family garden should be without 

 a plot of this excellent Corn. Packet, 10c. ; 

 14 lb., 20c.; 1 lb., 35c.; 2 lbs., 60c., postpaid; 

 11 lb. peck, $2.75; 44 lb. bn., $8.75, not pre- 

 paid. 



STOWBI^Ii'S BVBBGBBBN SUGAR.-- 



This is the best of all Sugar Corn. It is 

 early, the ears of large size and are well 

 filled. It remains green 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, 

 why people will plant common field corn 

 for table use we cannot understand. Rec- 

 ommended by the Louisiana Agricultural 

 Experiment Station for canning. Packet, 

 10c. ; Yz lb., 20c.; 1 lb., 35c.; 2 lbs., 60c., 

 postpaid; 11 lb. peck, $2.75; 44 lb. bu., $8.75, 

 not prepaid. 



GOI^DBN BVBRGREBN. — Late, very 

 sweet round grains; beautiful variety of 

 most excellent quality. Packet, 15c.; ^ lb,. 

 40c.; 1 lb., 75c.; 5 lbs., $3.00, postpaid.
