Dreer's Garden Calendar. 13 



Celeriac, or Turnip-rooted, may be planted either on level ground or in shallow drills. The 

 root of it swells like a turnip, and may be preserved in sand through the winter; this is cooked 

 and dressed similar to Beets. To store for winter use, select well-drained ground, dig trenches 

 1 foot wide and deep enough to cover the tops of the plants. Pack the stalks in this horizon- 

 tally ; cover with boards to shed the water, and in severe weather protect with straw or leaves. 

 On wet soils place the stalks four layers deep on either side of a ridge, cover with 4 inches of 

 soil and protect as described above. When wanted for use, open at one end.

CHERVIL. 



Garten Korbel, Ger. Cerfeuil, Fr. Perifoleo, Span. 



While young and tender, used as a small salad, and for seasoning soups, etc., like Parsley, of 

 a pleasant aromatic taste. Sow in May, in drills half an inch deep, and thin out to stand 1 

 foot apart, in rich, well-manured ground. 



Curled, or Double. Extra curled moss Per pkt., 5 cts. ; oz., 20cts.; lb., $2. 



CHICORY. 



Sow in April, and cultivate like Carrots. Cut up and dry the roots, roast and grind like 

 coffee. Mix about one-fourth of ground Chicory with the coffee before cooking. It takes the 

 deleterious effect from the coffee and improves its flavor. 



Large Rooted. The best substitute for coffee Per pkt., 5 cts. ; oz., 10 cts. ; lb., $1. 



COLLARDS. 



Platter-Kohl, Ger. Chou-Cabu, Fr. Cabu, Span. 



The popular greens, prized at the South, and so well adapted to that climate, and used as a 

 substitute for Cabbage, in portions of the South where it is almost impossible to succeed in rais- 

 ing cabbage-heads. Sow from June to August for a succession, and cultivate the same as Cab- 

 bage ; when large enough transplant in rows 1 foot apart each way, and hoe frequently. 



True Georgia, or Creole Per pkt., 5 cts. ; oz., 20 cts. ; lb., $2. 



CORN SALAD,— Fetticus. 



Ackersalat, Ger. Mache, Fr. Canonigos, Span. 



Used as a small salad throughout the winter and spring, and extensively grown for our mar- 

 kets. Sow on the opening of spring, in drills 1 foot apart, keeping down the weeds by frequent 

 hoeing; it will mature in six to eight weeks. For winter and early spring use, sow in drills in 

 August and September. Cover with straw on the approach of winter, the same as for Spinach. 



Pkt. Oz. ib. 

 Large Seeded. Large leaved, the best variety for market purposes $ 5 10 100 



CORN (Indian)— Garden, or Table Varieties. 



Welschkom, Ger. Mais, Fr. Maiz, Span. 



Adam's Early is the hardiest, and can be planted about the middle of April, and is the first 

 corn that appears in the market, but cannot compare with the Sugar varieties, which are the 

 best for boiling for table use. 



The Sweet or Sugar varieties being liable to rot in cold or wet ground, should not be planted 

 until May, or when the ground has become warm, and for a succession, continue planting every 

 two weeks, until the middle of July, in rich, well-manured ground, in hills 3 feet apart each 

 way, or in rows 4 feet apart, and to stand 8 inches in the rows. 



Remit for postage, 16 cts. per pound, or 25 cts. per quart or fraction thereof, when ordered to be sent by mail.
