twenty years of experience serving the truck-growers 
of Florida and studying the particular requirements of 
Florida Cucumber growers. We have spent many years 
in making special selections of this variety to meet the 
requirements of Florida Cucumber growers and ship¬ 
pers. We have developed in this superior stock which we 
are now offering a Cucumber of the desired length as 
well as color. All we ask is that you try our improved 
stock of this variety and convince yourself that there is 
no better stock of Stays Green to be secured anywhere, 
at any price. Our trials and the experience of many 
Florida Cucumber growers indicate that our improved 
stock of Stays Green produces fruits of very dark, 
glossy green color from stem to blossom end, uniform 
in shape, and considerably longer than other stocks of 
this variety, averaging about 8 inches in length. It is 
very early, an enormous yielder, and a fine shipper.

Largely grown in home gardens and by truckers for markets as “Cabbage Bunch.” 
Culture. About the same as for cabbage. May be started in seed-beds or planted direct in field spacing the 
plants 2 to 3 feet each way. Can be planted every month in the year in Florida. This vegetable should be in 
every family garden as it is very hardy and will furnish an abundance of “greens” when other vegetables are 
gone. Collards will also make fine green feed for chickens and cows. 
Prices quoted are Postpaid.

all sorts of adverse conditions and will make a good 
crop when other vegetables would fail. Very hardy to

over Florida. The plants grow to a height of 2 to 3 feet, 
and form large, loose, open heads or a cluster of suc¬ 
culent leaves with a rather long stem. Pkt. 10c; U lb.

Cabbage Collard. ( d0 days.) This Collard is claimed

very easy culture, and hardy, but has the flavor and

even in northern Florida, and it also stands hot weath¬ 
er. Does not grow as tall as Georgia Collard. The 
heads are not as firm as cabbage, but are very tender 
and of ideal flavor. Pkt. 10c; U lb. 20c; lb. 60c.
