COLLARDS 
Sow ^4 pound in seed-bed to plant an acre, or plant 
pound per acre in field. 
Culture. Collards are an old standby for winter greens all 
over the South. May be started in seed-beds or seed may be 
planted direct in the field, spacing the plants 2 to 3 feet apart 
each way. or better 18 to 24 inches apart in 3 foot rows, if it 
is hot and dry when setting the plants, a moist soil should be 
selected. Use about 800 lbs. of a 4-7-5 fertilizer per acre be¬ 
fore setting plants. Collards can be planted every month in 
the year in Florida. This vegetable should be included in every 
family garden as it is very hardy, easy to grow, and will fur¬ 
nish an abundance of “greens” when other vegetables are gone. 
Prices quoted are postpaid. 
LOUISIANA SWEET. (New) (60 days.) Seed supply limit¬ 
ed. This is a new, improved strain of the Old Georgia strain, 
recently developed by Dr. Julian C. Miller of the Louisiana 
Agricultural Station. Unlike other Collards, the leaf blades de¬ 
velop from the base up the entire length of the stem, making a 
very attractive, heavier-foliaged type. The plant has been bred 
to develop a deep, compact, rosette center with a large mass 
of thick, tender leaves entirely free of purple or red color. This 
new variety is highly recommended for commercial growers and 
shippers. Slow to go to seed.

and well adapted to the south.
