WONDERFUL OR GOLDEN PLUME 115 Days 
A selection made from the old type of Golden Self Blanching for a much 
larger heart or stalk; is a few days earlier. Has all the good points of its 
parent plus increased size and earliness. 
CELERIAC 
LARGE SMOOTH PRAGUE 120 Days 
Grows 12 to 14 inches tall. Roots are tapered in shape, 2 by 5 inches; 
usually show considerable side roots. Flesh is pure white. Used as celery 
flavoring for soups. This is the most commonly used strain. 
CHERVIL 
CURLED 
Greatly superior to the old plain variety, being earlier, more handsome, 
and having fully as fine fragrance and flavor. 
CHICORY 
LARGE ROOTED OR COFFEE 120 Days 
The dried and prepared roots are used quite extensivelv as a substitute 
or adulterant for cofifee, and the leaves used as a salad. 
WITLOOF OR FRENCH ENDIVE 
Grown for its use as a salad, the blanched head resembling Cos Lettuce 
in appearance. The seed planted in the late spring gives parsnip-like roots 
by late autumn. The roots are then placed in earth where there is some 
heat, as in the greenhouse, boiler room, or a warm cellar. The root then 
throws out the blanched salad head. 
COLLARDS 
TRUE GEORGIA OR SOUTHERN 80 Days 
Plant 2 to 3 feet high, forming a cluster of tender, undulated leaves at 
the top of its rather long stem; used as “greens” in the south and west. 
BUNCOMBE OR CABBAGE 
A cross between Georgia Collards and Charleston Wakefield Cabbage, 
bred for the easy growth and hardiness of the Collard and the flavor and 
heading qualities of the Cabbage. It does not winter-kill with ice and 
snow and stands hot weather as well. Heads are rounded, not as firm 
as Cabbage but of delicious flavor. 
CORN SALAD

'This small salad i.s used during the winter and spring months as a sub¬ 
stitute for lettuce and i.s also cooked and used like spinach. In warm 
weather the plants will mature in 4 to 6 weeks.
