CAULIFLOWER 
CULTURE—Plant the early varieties half an inch deep in a hot- 
bed in January or February and transplant when proper size and 
when freezing weather is past; they will stand a light frost. For 
late crop, plant Autumn Giant in May or June and treat exactly 
like late cabbage. Set the plants 15 to 18 inches apart in 3-foot 
rows. When the heads are about 2 inches across, tie up the outer 
leaves to blanch the head and protect them from the sun and 
weather; this prevents them becoming bitter and discolored.

COLLARDS 
CULTURE — One 
of the most popu- 
J lar Southern vege- 
|tables; largely 
|used in place of 
|cabbage. It is 
| hardier and easier 
| to grow than cab- 
bage, can be grown 
on poorer soil and 
withstands insect 
attacks better. Al- 
though often plant- 
ed during the 
spring andsum- 
mer, the principal 
plantings are made 
in June, July and 
August, transplant- 
ed two feet apart 
in the row and giv- 
en frequent culti- 
vation. A most ex- 
cellent vegetable 
for the late fall, 
winter and early 
spring. The flavor 
is improved by 
frost. Cultivate 
like cabbage. 
= (80 Days)—A collard that heads up 
146. Carolina Header like a cabbage, yet is hardy enough to 
stand more severe winters than any collard we know. It makes 
a nice sized solid head, with just enough bottom leaves to protect 
it. The stalk is very short, the head is firm, the slightly savoyed 
leaves are spaced close together; it is a late seeder. In flavor we 
do not believe any collard can compare with it. You can grow it 
on land so poor that it would not produce a crop of cabbage.
