COLLABDS or COLEWOBTS. True Southern. 
A class of plants closely allied to the Cabbage family, which are somewhat extensively used in the South, when small, as greens. 
Sow in early spring in drills one foot apart, covering the seed half an inch. The young plants are ready for use as soon as they have 
attained sufficient size, but if it is desired to keep them in good condition, thin the plants to six or eight inches apart, and pull off 
’ the larger leaves before using. The seed of any of the larger varieties of Cabbage will grow Collards. 
COB3N. 
Corn revels in a warm and rich soil. Do not plant before the ground has become warm—nothing is gained by it. Drill culti¬ 
vation is more profitable than hill cultivation. The smaller varieties may be planted with the drills two and a half feet apart, and 
the stalks thinned to ten inches apart; the larger sorts should have the drills four feet apart, and the stocks a foot apart in the rows, 
and the largest varieties eighteen inches apart. Use some rich manure in the drills. Frequently stir the earth about the roots by 
hoe or cultivator, bnt do not draw it up around the stalks. quart quart
