Assures you an abundance and never-failing 
supply of fine “greens” all through the late 
summer and fall months. Gives maximum 
returns for little care and space. Gather when 
half grown for best flavor. Cut close without 
injuring the heart of the plant, and another 
crop will spring up. Grows in any ordinary 
garden soil. In rich soil, however, and with 
good culture, it makes an amazingly luxuriant 
growth and furnishes an abundance of greens_. 
Sow in rows 12 inches apart, and thin to 5 
inches apart in the row. One ounce 
will sow 100 feet of row; 4 
to 5 pounds, an acre.

ing ordinary winters in the South. 
Grows on land too poor to produce | 
cabbage. Pkt. 5c; oz. 8c; 14 lb. 
2 1c; lb. 49c; 5 lbs. $2.25. Not| 
prepaid: 10 lbs. $4.00. 
179 Cabbage-Collards. A cross 
between the Georgia Collard and the | 
Charleston Wakefield Cabbage, bred 
for the hardiness of the Collard and 
the flavor and heading qualities of the 
Cabbage. It is more tender and bet¬ 
ter flavored than either for boiling or 
cutting up for slaw. Does not grow 
as tall as the Georgia Collard, but the 
leaves grow closer together on the 
stem. Does not winter-kill. Pkt. 5c; 
oz. 8 c ; % lb. 21c; lb. 49 c; 5 lbs.

SEA KALE BEET 
64 Giant Lucullus. 55 days. 
The rich green, fleshy, heavily crum¬ 
pled leaves of this variety make very 
tasty “greens.” The erect plants 
attain a height of 2 to 2 V 2 feet. 
Largely sought after by those who 
prefer the thick, creamy white stems 
or stalks which are edible and ten¬ 
der, and may be served as a sepa¬ 
rate dish like asparagus. The leafy part 
can be cooked like spinach or turnip- 
greens, or if desired the whole leaf can 
be boiled and served as “greens.” There 
is a delicious, delicate flavor not found in 
either turnips or kale. Pkt. 5 C ; oz. 8 C ; 
•4 lb. 21 c; lb. 49c; 5 lbs. $2.20.

Swiss 
Chard 
^ 45 days. Distinct from 
other Chards; highly prized 
because of its superior fla¬ 
vor, entirely without the 
•somewhat bitter taste of or¬ 
dinary Swiss Chard. You 
will relish it like a good va¬ 
riety of spinach. The dark, 
glossy green leaves are fairly 
smooth. The lighter green 
midribs are tender and edible. 
Cooked and served as “boil- 
#• ing greens” in the same way 
as spinach. It is very hardy 
and withstands severe sum¬ 
mer heat; therefore available when 
spinach cannot be grown. Many 
people who detest spinach find our 
green-leaved Swiss Chard a more 
palatable substitute. Pkt. 5c; oz.

CAULIFLOWER 
Cauliflower is not difficult to 
grow. If your garden produces 
good cabbage, it should successfully 
grow Cauliflower. It is one of the 
garden’s most delectable luxuries. 
Culture. July, August, and Sep¬ 
tember are the best planting months 
for the winter crop. Requires rich 
soil and abundant moisture. Cul¬ 
ture same as for cabbage, except 
the heads must be protected from 
sunlight in order to insure the much- 
desired white curd, except when the 
foliage is heavy and erect. One 
ounce will produce 2,000 plants; % 
pound, an acre. We have indicated 
the number of days usually required 
to produce heads, from date young 
plants are set in the field.
