Collards. 



COLLARDS. 



Collards are scarcely known in any other 

 section of the country except the South, 

 where it originated, 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 the only dish that causes the dusky 

 gentlemen of that country to show up 

 their ivories. It is a species of Cabbage, 

 which is not only very hardy, but a vigor- 

 ous and continuous grower. Matures in 125 

 to 160 days. One ounce to 2,500 plants; 6 

 ounces per acre. Packet, 5c and 10c; 0».

Corn Salad. 



CORN SALAD. 



This is a hardy winter salad, the small 

 leaves being served like lettuce during the 

 cool Fall and early Winter months. It is 

 used also for garnishing meat dishes in 

 the same manner as parsley and cress. It 

 does not succeed during warm weather, 

 and the seed should be sown thinly in 

 drills during August. September and Octo- 

 ber to supply fresh leaves during the cool 

 Fall and Winter months. It is quite hardy, 

 and after cool weather sets in can be pro- 

 tected" by a thin mulch of soft hay or straw. 

 One ounce will plant fifty feet of row. 

 Packet, 5c. and 10c; oz. 25c; *4 lb. 75c; 

 lb. $2.00, postpaid. 



CORN. 



Corn 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 th« 

 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 hav« 

 them selected for us by growers who make this their business. 



CULTURE. — 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 can of coal oil at the four 

 corners of the ciib, 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 way. 1 quart to 500 hills; 8 quarts to the acre. "Corona Dry" is the only product 

 which can control the corn ear worm. Simply dust a little of this powder on the new 

 silk of the ear as soon as it appears, and the worm will perish when it begins to feed 

 upon the treated silk. iTou must penetrate the silk thoroughly. Repeat the treatments 

 often. Matures in 70 to 95 davs.
