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 70 Days 
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. !t 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 
LARGE SEEDED, LARGE LEAVED 
This small salad is used during the winter and spring nionths as a sub- 
stitute for lettuce and is also cooked and used like spinach. In warm 
weather the plants will mature in 4 to 6 weeks. 
SWEET CORN 
CuLTuRE. Sweet Corn produces best on fertile soil and the land should 
receive a good complete fertilizer treatment before planting. Do not plant 
corn in cold ground unless a good seed treatment is used. About the middle 
of May, plant corn in hills 3 to 3% feet each way, dropping 4 to 5 seeds 
to a hill, later thinning to 3 stalks; or plant in 3 or 3%4-foot rows, dropping 
3 seeds to the foot, later thinning to stand 1 foot apart in the rows. Seed 
should be covered %4 inch on heavy soil to 1 inch on light, sandy soil. 
One pound will plant 200 hills or 400 feet of row and 7 to 10 pounds 
plant an acre. Plant every two weeks up to July 15th for a continuous 
supply. Early July plantings are delicious in September. Number of days 
is from germination to roasting ear stage.
