liustings’ Gilt Edge Cauliflower— Best Early Cauliflower for South 
COLL AR DS 
The collard is an old-time favorite adapted 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 ^mur 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. Cultivate like cabbage. Sow one ounce of seed 
to 200 feet of row. Collards mature in 3 to 4 months. 
Southern or Georgia (No. 135) 
all sorts of adverse conditions 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 groAvs easily and makes a good sub- 
stitute for cabbage. Packet, 5c; ounce, 10c; % pound, 25c; pound, 75c. 
GEORGIA CABBAGE-COLLARD (No. 136} 
New and very valuable variety. A cross between collards and Charles- 
ton Wakefield Cabbage, giving a cabbage-like flavor and it heads up 
like a cabbage. 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 AAunter-killing with ice and snoAv, and stands 
the hot weather as well. The firm heads are not as large as many cab- 
bages, but they are real heads that can be left on the plant and_ used 
through the Avinter as they are wanted. Heads are rounded, of delicious 
flaA'or, either lor boiling or cutting up for slaw. Winter cabbage is a 
serious problem for the South. This ncAV Cabbage-Collard largely solves 
the difficulty. We have only a limited amount of seed but be sure to 
plant a feAV' packets at least this fall — and order early. Packet, 10 cents ; 
ounce, 20 cents; % pound, 65 cents; pound, $2.00; postpaid. 
CAULIFLOWER 
Cauliflower is one of our most delicious garden vegetables. Most of 
us have let truck and market gardeners groAv it for us because of 
the wrong idea that it is hard to grow. Anyone can be reasonably 
sure of success with caulifloAver w’hen planting Hastings’ Seeds and 
it's aAA-ay ahead of cabbage in quality and flavor. • 
We import all of our Cauliflower seed direct from the most reliable 
groAvers in Europe. No caulifloAver seed of Auilue is produced in 
America and the best seed of Europe is needed for success. We sell 
only the A’ery highest grade it is possible to groAA’. 
Cultul*A in rich well-tilled soil; will do in a well- 
WUBAUI C manured soil. Soav in seed bed same time as you would 
cabbage. Transplant when 3 to 4 inches high; give plenty of AA'ater 
in dry weather. Keep Avet, hoe thoroughly and often. In Florida 
and along the Gulf, sow the seed in September, October and Novem- 
ber. The plants Avill stand light frosts and should be planted so as 
to head in cool weather because they Avill not head properly in hot 
weather. One ounce of seed will make 1,000 good plants. Set plants 
about 18 inches apart in row. Cauliflower matures in 3 to 4 months. 
Hastings’ Gilt Edge Cauliflower (No. 85) 
“Gilt Edge” is rightly named. It is “Gilt Edge” in every respect. 
It is the largest, most perfect and surest header of all the early va- 
rieties, and in quality it is unexcelled. One specimen Avas sent to our 
store l)y a gardener AA’hich, Avhen the leaA'es AVere trimmed off, 
AA’eighed 7 lbs., and 8 oz., the largest head of early caulifloAver we 
have ever seen in the South. 
In general appearance Gilt Edge is like Snowball, but is much 
larger, a sure header, and stands much longer without decay than 
anj' other. CaulifloAA’er should be more generally groAAm and there is 
no variety equal to Gilt Edge where a sure crop of the finest quality 
is AVanted. Packet, 25c; % ounce, 75c; % ounce, $1,25; ounce, $2.25; 
% pound, .$8.00; pound, $30.00.

ties. Each: Packet, 10c; % ounce, 60c; ounce, $1.00; pound, $3.00.
