Brussels Sprouts 
A very highly esteemed member of the cabbage 
family, especially desirable for the late summer 
and fall plantings in Florida and the Gulf Coast 
section. The “sprouts” are miniature cabbages growing closely on the stalk of the plant, a 
small head being formed at each leaf joint. Plants are quite hardy and live through the winter 
in all parts of the lower South. Quality and flavor are much improved by frost. Sow seed in 
July. August or September and when plants are four to six inches high transplant to open 
ground and cultivate as for cabbage.

the Southern States, unless you are an expert cauliflower grower.

GEORGIA CABBAGE-COLLARD( No. 136) 
collards and Charleston Wakefield Cabbage, giving a more cabbage-like fiavor than No. 134 
and is a better header. This was originated at the Georgia Experiment Station by Prof. H. P. 
Stuckey and the seed is grown for us by him. It is as hardy as collards, not even winter-killing 
with ice and snow, and stands the hot weather as well. The firm heads are not as large as many cabbages, but they are real heads 
that can be left on the plant and used through the winter as they are wanted. Heads are rounded, of delicious flavor, either for boil- 
ing or cutting up for slaw. AVinter cabbage is a serious problem for the South. This new Cabbage-Collard largely solves the difficulty. 
AVe have only a limited amount of seed but be sure to plant a few packets this year — and order early. Packet, 10 cents; ounce, 20 
cents; % pound, 65 cents; pound, $2.00; postpaid. 
White Head Collards(No. 134) K 
ease of growth and hardiness of the ordinary collard together with better eating 
qualities and the heading character of the cabbage in considerable degree. The 
growth is not as tall as the ordinary collard but leaves are large and closer together 
on the stem. The leaves are generally thicker and more succulent than the collard 
and far more tender and better flavored when cooked. Fall-grown cabbage has al- 
■ways been a problem for the South. This cabbage-like collard solves the difficulty, 
growing better in hot weather and standing winter cold that would ruin cabbage. 
Packet, 10 cents; 3 for 25 cents.
