ant vines produce an abundance of uniform, exceedingly dark 
green cucumbers, averaging 10 inches long. The fruits are of 
uniform diameter from stem to blossom end, are rather slim,

COLLARDS 
Sow Va pound in seed-bed to plant an acre, or plant 
Vi 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 even- 
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 limited. 
This is a new, improved strain of the Old Georgia strain, re¬ 
cently developed by Dr. Julian C. Miller of the Lousiana 
Agricultural Station. Unlike other Collards, the leaf blades 
develop 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 commer¬ 
cial growers and shippers. Slow to go to seed.

origin and well adapted to Florida.
