A MAN WITH A GARDEN SELDOM IS HUNGRY 
Witloof Chicory 
CHICORY or SUCCOR! 
Sometimes Called French Endive 
Plant Four Ounces for 100 Yards of Row 
Large Rooted or Coffee—100 Days 
This variety should not be confused with the Wit¬ 
loof sort which is used as a salad, for this is little 
used as such but is cultivated for its roots which 
when dry are used as a substitute for coffee. 
Witloof or Brussels Chicory—110 Days 
The leaf resembles a head of Cos Lettuce, large, 
thick and stems tightly folded against each other, 
the heart bleached like Celery. Very popular in 
Europe and growing in demand in America. 
COLLARDS 
One Ounce of Seed for 100 Yards of Row 
A Loose-leaved plant of the Cabbage family 
Georgia Southern or Creole—80 Days 
Cabbage greens. The leaves can be blanched white 
as Celery and made tender by enveloping from the 
top downward each plant with a large paper or 
muslin bag during its late growth. Stems long, 
2 to 3 feet, white or golden, can be grown in sections 
where Cabbages do not thrive. 
CORN SALAD—Sometimes Called Fetticus 
Sow Ten Ounces of Seed to 100 Yards of Row 
Broad-Leaved (Large Seeded)—40 Days 
Used as a small Salad throughout the Winter and 
Spring. Sometimes called Lambs’ Lettuce. For 
quick growing sow thickly in drills, cover slightly 
first in Autumn. Height 4 inches. 
CRESS 
Broad-Leaved—46 Days 
Leaves not cut. A form of Salad much used abroad. 
Curled or Pepper Grass—40 Days 
Cut leaved, used for flavoring and as a Salad. 
Upland Cress—Gray Seeded—60 Days 
Very much resembles Water Cress not only in habit 
and appearance but in texture and flavor as well. It 
is rapidly taking the place of Water Cress where 
running streams are not available. It is a very fast 
grower and easily cultivated. It will grow in any 
soil and will produce an abundance of leaves even in 
a very dry season. Flavor quite spicy and appe¬ 
tizing. 
Water Cress—50 Days 
A favorite dressing for dishes and a desirable form 
of Greens. A Perennial aquatic plant. Will only 
thrive well when the roots are submerged in water, 
and grows best along banks of small running streams. 
DANDELION 
Cabbaging or Improved Thick Leaf—60 Days 
An improved type of an old-fashion plant rapidly 
growing into favor as an early Salad, thick-leaved, 
dark green. Sow and cultivate same as Lettuce. 
Tie up the same as Cos Lettuce or shelter from light 
by inverted pots or board covering. 
French Garden—56 Days 
A good sort, not so strong in growth as the 
Cabbaging, but much better than the common wild 
sort; not so erect, leaves broader, less curly and not 
so vivid a green, blanches easily.
