COLLARDS 
GEORGIA SOUTHERN OR CREOLE 
This is the variety so extensively used in the 
South, where it furnishes an abundance of food for 
both man and beast. Forms a large, loose, open head, 
of a mass of leaves on a tall stem. Freezing im¬ 
proves the quality Pkt. 10c; oz. 15c; X A lb* 30c; 
lb. $1.00. 
CHICORY 
LARGE ROOTED 
A hardy plant introduced from and much used 
in Europe as a substitute for coffee. In the fall the 
roots require to be taken up and cut into small 
pieces and put where they will dry, requiring the 
same treatment used for drying apples. When re¬ 
quired for use, it should be roasted and ground like 
coffee. Requires similar culture to carrots. 
Pkt. 5c; oz. 15c; *4 lb. 40c; lb. $1.25. 
CORN SALAD 
BROAD LEAVED 
Used as a small salad throughout the winter and 
spring. Sow thickly in drills, cover slightly at first 
of autumn and sprinkle with straw at the approach 
of severe weather, or sow in a cold frame, covered 
in winter as may be convenient—thus it is accessi¬ 
ble even when deep snow prevails. Pkt. 10c; oz. 20c; 
*4 lb. 50c; lb. $2.00. 
CRESS 
GARDEN CURLED OR PEPPER GRASS

low drills, on a smooth surface, at short intervals 
throughout the season. Pkt. 10c; oz. 15c; >4 lb. 50c. 
TRUE WATER CRESS 
It is quite distinct from the Garden Cress, and 
only thrives when its roots and stems are submerged 
in water. It is one of the most delicious of small 
salads and should be planted wherever a suitable 
place can be found. Pkt. 10c; oz. 30c; X A lb. $1.00. 
CUCUMBERS 
CULTURE—Drop in hills 4 to 6 feet apart, as 
soon as the weather becomes settled and warm. Scat¬ 
ter 8 or 10 seeds to a hill and cover half an inch 
deep, and pat it down with a hoe. Hoe often, and 
when out of danger of insects thin to 4 plants to a 
hill. June and July is the time to sow for pickling. 
One ounce to 50 hills; two pounds to an acre. 
EARLY WHITE SPINE 
Vines vigorous, fruiting early and abundantly; 
fruit uniformly straight and handsome, dark green, 
with a few white spines; flesh tender and of excel¬ 
lent flavor. In this country this variety is used more, 
perhaps than any other, for forcing under glass. 
Pkt. 5c; oz. 15c; *4 lb. 50c; lb. $1.25. 
EARLY FRAME 
Of early growth and vigorous; fruit medium size 
and straight. It is popular for both table use and 
pickling. Pkt. 5c; oz. 15c; % lb. 50c; lb. $1.25. 
BOSTON PICKLING 
A distinct variety which has attained great popu¬ 
larity in the Boston market for pickling. Medium 
long, a great producer. Pkt. 5c; oz. 15c; X A lb. 50c; 
lb. $1.25. 
IMPROVED LONG GREEN 
Unquestionably this is the most popular general 
purpose cucumber in the West. When matured it is 
9 to 12 inches long, very solid and crisp, and retains 
its dark green color until nearly ripe. One of the 
best for small pickles if pickled properly. Pkt. 5c; 
oz. 20c; X A lb. 60c; lb. $1.75. 
DAVIS PERFECT 
This is one of the best cucumbers grown, both 
for forcing and for out of doors. It is slim and 
symmetrical in shape, and from 9 to 12 inches long 
and of a dark, glossy green color changing to white, 
without a streak of yellow, only when nearly ripe. 
Pkt. 5c; oz. 15c; *4 lb. 50c; lb. $1.25. 
EVERBEARING 
This variety is of small size very early, enorm¬ 
ously productive, and valuable as a green pickle. Its 
peculiar merit, however, is that the vines continue 
to flower and produce fruit until killed by frost, 
whether the cucumbers are picked off or not. Pkt. 5c; 
oz. 15c; 14 lb. 50c; lb. $1.25. 
WEST INDIA GHERKIN 
A small, oblong pickling cucumber, bright green 
color and thickly set with short spines. Oz. 30c; 14 
lb. $1.00. 
ENDIVE 
CULTURE—It is the same as lettuce. In order to 
bleach the green varieties, gather all the green leaves 
together and tie them for a few days. It furnishes 
an appetizing salad for all the fall and winter 
months. 
GREEN CURLED 
Leaves finely cut and lacineated; bleaches very 
readily. Pkt. 10c; oz. 15c. 
EGG PLANT 
CULTURE—Sow in hotbeds very early in the 
spring; thin them out as soon as big enough to be 
handled to three or four inches each way, and trans¬ 
plant to 2 or 3 feet apart in very rich, warm ground. 
Do not plant them outside till the nights are real 
warm, as the least frost will, if it does not kill them,
