OUR GIUT EDGE CAULIFLOWER—The best Early Cauliflower for the Southern States 
COI_l_ARDS great many people look upon the lowly col- 
.... .lard or “Georgia Cabbage” as some jokinglj 
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 ail parts of the South, and as 
a producer or “greens” for boiling 
in winter and spring it has no 
equal. It will pay you to have a 
collard patch just to gi*-e your coavs 
an occasional taste of "green stuff." 
Sow any time up to September 15th. 
When plants are (i. inches high 
transplant to open ground, settin.g 
plants 2 feet apart in the row. Cul¬ 
tivate like cabbage and sow one 
ounce of seed to 200 feet of row. 
Cabbage seed is high and scarce 
this year and Georgia collard 
makes a fine substitute.

Our Gilt Edge (No. 85) 
We introduced Gilt Edge 
Cauliflower in the South in 18!).3. 
We have watched ail new intro¬ 
ductions closely, and we have 
not found in the last 27 years a 
Variety that conies anywhere 
rear 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 Avas sent to our store by a 
gardener which, when the leaves 
were trimmed off, weighed 7 
lbs. and 8 oz., the largest head 
if early cauliflower 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 de¬ 
cay than any other. Cauliflower 
should be more generally grown 
and there is no variety equal 
to Gilt Edge where a sure crop 
of the finest quality is wanted.
