CELERIAC or Turnip Rooted Celery 
CULTURE. Sow the seed at the same season and give the same treatment as common celery. 
Transplant the young plants to moist, rich soil, in rows two feet apart and six inches apart in the 
row. Give thorough culture. As the roots are the edible portion of this vegetable, it is not necessary 
to earth up or ‘“‘handle”’ it. After the roots have attained a diameter of two inches or over, they will 
be fit for use. To keep through winter, pack in damp earth or sand and put in the cellar, or leave 
out of doors, covering with earth and straw, like beets or carrots. é 
Large Smooth Prague 
An improved form of turnip-rooted celery, producing large and smooth roots, 
which are almost round, and with very few side roots. Plants vigorous with 
large deep green foliage. 
CHICORY 
LARGE ROOTED OR COFFEE 
The roots are used as a substitute for coffee and the leaves may be used for 
salad. Our improved strain makes large, smooth, short white roots. 
Witloof or French Endive 
The leaves and stems blanch easily and make a popular winter salad. 
Sow seed in May or June, producing roots which when taken up, trimmed 
and placed in sand in a warm, dark place, will throw out large tender white 
sprouts which are used as salad. A packet will produce 300 roots, an ounce 
3000 to 4000 roots. 
COLLARDS 
A packet will produce about 250 plants; an ounce about 2500 plants; four ounces 
sufficient plants to set an acre. 
CULTURE. Sow seed like cabbage to be transplanted in rows 2% feet apart, allowing 24 to 
30 inches between plants. 
GEORGIA SOUTHERN or CREOLE 
A tall, loose-leaved, non-heading form of the cabbage family, grown for 
greens. Plant 2 to 3 feet high, erect, spreading, forming a loose cluster or head 
of tender leaves. 
SWEET CORN 
A packet will plant 40 hills; one pound about 400 hills; 6 to 8 pounds will plan 
an acre. 
Warm weather, rich soil and moderate moisture are the ideal conditions for corn but a satis- 
factory crop can be grown in any garden if the soil is deeply and thoroughly worked before planting. 
Seed may be planted either in rows or hills. If in rows, they should be 214 to 4 feet apart depending 
on the height of the variety and the seed planted at the rate of 5 or 6 toa foot and covered about 2 
inches. When plants are 4 or 5 inches tall, thin from 8 to 12 inches apart and keep well hoed until 
the ears are set. If in hills plant 5 or 6 seeds per hill and space the hills 3 feet apart each way. 
Sweet corns listed below are in order of maturity for green corn. Records are 
from our trials planted in June. If planted earlier they might require a few days 
longer.
