family, especially desirable for the late summer

A vegetable very closely related to cauliflower, from which it is sup-

and in the Southern States, unless you are an expert c.auliflower grow¬

WHITE HEAD COLLARDS (No. 134) 
This white heading variety of Collard has been bred to secure the 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 hut the leaves 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. FaU-grown cabbage has always been a problem for the South. This cab- 
bage-llke collard solves the difficulty, growing better in hot weather and standing 
winter cold that would ruin cabbage. Supply very limited but every garden should 
have a row or two of this White Head Collard this year. Packet, 10 cents; 3 for 25c 
COLLARDS old-time standby for winter greens all over the South.
