BEADLES SEED CO.IN 
Celery—Continued 
As the plants grow heap up the earth around the stalks to 
whiten them. To protect from severe winter weather, 
cover the rows with straw and lay boards on the top, or 
bank the rows with boards when 10 inches tall. One 
ounce of seed produces 1,000 plants. As celery seed 
germinate slowly it is best to soak the seed for 24 hours 
before sowing.

COLLARDS 
NORTH CAROLINA SHORT STEM—tThe favorite variety 
in the South, where it thrives and flourishes bountifully, 
where it would be difficult to raise cabbage successfully. 
It has short stems, large spreading leaves, very hardy, 
withstanding well the droughts of summer and becomes 
peculiarly sweet and tender when touched by frost. Pkt. 
5c; oz. 10c; % lb. 25c; Ib. 75c; postpaid.

most severe winters in the South. Pkt. 5c; oz. 10c; %4 lb. 
25c; lb. 75c; postpaid. 
WHITE OR CABBAGE COLLARD—Called cabbage-collard 
because of its bunching habit and general resemblance 
to a cabbage. Extremely hardy and grows on the poorest 
soils. As white and crisp as a cabbage. Pkt. 5c; oz. 10c; 
\% Ib. 25c; Ib. 75c; postpaid. 
CORN—GARDEN 
(If by mail add 8c for first lb.; 1c for each additional Ib.) 
CULTURE—Plant 3 or 4 grains 1% inches deep, 2 feet 
apart in rows 38 to 4 feet apart, according to the size and 
variety of the corn. When plants are 4 inches high thin 
out to 2 plants to the hill. For very early corn the hardi- 
est and earliest varieties can be planted the latter part 
of March, if the weather is mild but sweet corns are 
tender and should not be planted until April, or until the 
spring weather opens and the ground becomes thoroughly 
warm, as sugar corn has a tendency to rot in the ground 
if planted too early. It should be planted at intervals 
of every two weeks until July or August in order to have 
roasting ears for use during the entire season. One-half 
pound will plant 150 feet of row; 10 lb. to the acre. 
ADAMS EXTRA EARLY (70 days)—This well known va- 
riety is the earliest and hardiest White Garden Corn. The 
ears are short and thick, and while rather small they are 
usually ready about 7 weeks after planting. It can be 
planted close, as the stalks grow only about 4 feet high. 
This variety should be grown only on good land well fer- 
tilized . Lb. 15c; 2 Ibs. 25c; 5 Ibs. 55c; 10 Ibs. $1.00; 100 
Ibs. $8.50. 
ADAMS’ EARLY (75 days)—This is about a week or 10 
days later than the Adams’ Extra Early, but has some- 
what larger ears, measuring about 8 inches in length. 
The stalks are small, growing about 6 feet high. 
This is also a hardy corn and can be planted earlier than 
the sweet corn. Lb. 15c; 2 Ibs. 25c; 5 Ibs. 50c; 10 Ibs. 90c; 
100 Ibs. $7.50.

GOLDEN GIANT 
GARDEN CORN 
NORFOLK MARKET (80 Days)— 
Not as early as Big Early Adams, 
but makes a larger ear, averaging 
about 9 inches long. The grains 
are fairly deep, and when at roast- 
ing ear stage are tender and milky. 
It is hardier than any of the sugar 
corns, withstands cold ground bet- 
ter and can be planted much earli- 
er. If not used for roasting ears 
it makes a good yielding corn for 
feeding. Not postpaid, lb. 15c; 
2 Ibs. 25c; 5 Ibs. 50c; 10 Ibs. 90c; 
100 Ibs. $7.00.
