COLLARDS 
CULTURE —Collards are grown very largely in the Southern 
States, where they are used as a substitute for cabbage, as they 
are easier to grow, are also hardier and thrive better on poor 
soil, and are not as susceptible to insects. Collards are fre¬ 
quently sown in the early spring months, but seem to do best 
when sown in June, July or August. Transplant and cultivate 
like late cabbage, and keep well worked. It is said the flavor 
is improved by a touch of frost. One ounce of seed produces 
about 1,500 plants. 
NORTH CAROLINA SHORT STEM— The favorite variety in 
the South, where it thrives and flourishes bountifully, where 
it would be difficult to raise cabbage successfully. It has 
short stems, large spreading leaves, very hardy, withstanding 
well the droughts of summer and becomes peculiarly sweet 
and tender when touched by frost. Oz. 10c; 34 lb. 25c; lb.

Or they can be sown ouside from March to July, as desired, 
for medium, early or late crop, in drills, covering 1 inch and 
plants thinned to 6 inches. Beets should be grown in light,
