OUR GILT EDGE CAULIFLOWER— The best Early Cauliflower for the Southern States 
I A great many people look upon the lowly col- 
lard 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 adapt- 
ed to all parts of the South, and as 
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 occasional taste of “green stuff.” 
Sow any time up to September 15th. 
When plants . are 6 inches high 
transplant to open ground, setting 
plants 2 feet apart in the row. Cul- 
tivate like cabbage and sow one 
ounce of seed to 200 feet of row. 
Try White Head and the Georgia- 
Cabbage Collards as well as No. 
135 this year. They are great. 
Southern or Georgia 
^11 A This variety is the 
ynUiluUy old-time favorite. 
Stands all sorts of adverse condi- 
tions without injury. 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., 
5c; oz., 10c; % lb., 25c; lb., 76c.

Our Gilt Edge (No. 85)^ 
We introduced Gilt Edge:? 
Cauliflower in the South in 1898.. 
We have watched all new intro- 
ductions closely, and we have- 
not found in all these years a 
variety that comes anywhere- 
near being its equal, for either- 
fall or spring planting. 
“Gilt Edge” is rightly named.. 
It iS" “Gilt Edge” in every re-- 
spect. It is the largest, most: 
perfect and surest header of all. 
the early varieties, and in qual- 
ity it is unexcelled. One speci- 
men was sent to our store by a 
gardener which, when the leaves ; 
were trimmed off, weighed 7, 
lbs. and 8 oz., the largest head; 
of early cauliflower we have* 
ever seen in the South. 
In general appearance Gilt'; 
Edge is like Snowball, but is; 
much larger, a sure header, andt 
stands much longer without de- 
cay than any other. Cauliflower- 
should be more generally growni 
and there is no variety equaL 
to Gilt Edge where a sure crop? 
of the finest quality is wanted!.
