ERFURT HM CHALK 120 
A fine vegetable for flavoring in salads, soups, stews, etc. A large, turnip- 
like root formed under the ground comprises the edible portion of the plant. 
The hollow dark green stems above ground are not good for eating fresh but 
may be used in cooking for flavoring. The roots may be stored into the winter 
months.

WITLOOF or French Endive HMS EVENT 
One of the finest salad vegetables. The popular type grown by home and 
market gardeners and shippers. The long, compact, head-like cluster of well- 
i blanched leaves is formed from parsnip-shaped transplanted roots. Usually 
the roots are placed in forcing beds, where regulated conditions produce dis- 
tinctly flavored, well-blanched heads.

Brassica oleracea var. acephala 
The collard is a non-heading member of the cabbage family. A popular “green” in 
the South where it is usually planted in the summer and used throughout the fall and 
| winter. Whole young plants may be cut and used or the tender rosette leaves at the top 
i stripped off and cooked. The flavor of the foliage is believed to be improved by frost. 
CABBAGE HM CHIRS 90 
Compact plant, sometimes displays tendency to form loose head, but like other 
collards is useful for the leaves, harvested as needed for “greens” during the 
winter in the South. 
GEORGIA or Southern or Creole HM CHARM 80 
A most hardy sort to withstand severe weather conditions. It is a non-heading 
type of the cabbage family, which forms a rosette or loose cluster of tender 
leaves at the top of a large plant from 2 to 3 feet in height. A splendid sort 
for greens. Generally grown in the South and adapted to conditions where 
cabbage will not grow. 
LOUISIANA SWEET HM CHAPO 85 
A recent introduction by Dr. Julian C. Miller of the University of Louisiana. 
Improved over the old Georgia Collard as it has larger leaf area and less stem 
along with an appealing color and thick, tender leaves. 
VATES GREEN GLAZE HM COLAY 90 
Similar to Georgia Collards in shape and habit of growth, but has an emerald 
green color instead of the usual bluish green of Georgia Collards; also the 
leaves have a glossy or oily appearance instead of the usual “bloom”.
