Part of a typical row of Florida Golden No. 15 Celery 
FLORIDA GOLDEN NO. 15. (115 days.) After many years of 
breeding, selecting, and testing by our breeding department, 
we introduced this improved variety. It is intermediate be- 
tween the Old Golden and Special or Golden Plume types, 
possessing the desirable characteristics of both types. It is 
recommended especially for a Florida mid-winter crop because 
it withstands cold weather better than most varieties of the 
Special or Golden Plume type. Our Improved stock has been 
selected for uniformly long, thick, round ribs, large full hearts 
of rich golden yellow color, and for heavy yields of good sizes. 
The ribs average eight to ten inches to the first joint, are not 
thin and flat, but are rounded and exceptionally thick. The 
plants range from 21 to 24 inches over all, making a most at- 
tractive pack. ‘This is one of the best varieties for a mid-winter 
crop in Florida, but is not as well suited to hot weather con- 
ditions of spring as is Kilgore’s Pride.

SUMMER PASCAL (Waltham Strain) (New). (115 days.) ‘This 
is the earliest maturing of all the green Pascal varieties. ‘The 
Waltham strain was developed by the Waltham, Mass., Agri- 
cultural Experiment Station for a rapidly growing green Pascal 
type of celery with long, upright growing, compact ribs or 
petioles, making a very attractive appearing celery for the 
markets. ‘The ribs are very thick and semi-rounded, but not 
quite as smooth as our regular strain of Green Florida Pascal, 
although the Waltham strain will mature about ten days 
earlier, and make an enormous yield of large sizes. This strain 
must be cut promptly when ready or it will tend to go down, 
and won’t hold up in the field after mature as well as Green 
Florida Pascal.

COLLARD 
Sow 4 pound in seed-bed to plant an acre, or plant 
4 pound per acre in field. 
For the garden make two sowings at different times. Sow 1 
packet in seed-bed for 35 plants for each planting to set 50 
feet of row, or plant one packet in 50 feet of row at each 
planting for a family of 3 or 4 people. 
Culture. Collard is an old standby for winter greens all 
over the South. May be started in seed-beds or seed may be 
planted direct in the field, in rows 214 to 3 feet apart, with 
plants 14 to 18 inches apart in the row. Use about 1200 pounds 
of a 4-7-5 fertilizer per acre before setting plants. Collard can 
be planted every month of the year in Florida, but it grows best 
and produces the highest edible quality during cool weather. 
This vegetable should be included in every Florida family 
garden, as it is very hardy, easy to grow and will furnish an 
abundance of greens, high in health-producing vitamins. _ 
The number of days in parentheses after each variety 
indicates the number of days from setting out plants to har- 
vest. It requires about a month in the seed-bed to get plants 
from seed sowing to transplanting stage.

LOUISIANA SWEET (Dark Green Strain). (50 days.) Unlike 
other Collards the leaf blades develop from the base up the 
entire length of the leaf-stem, making a very attractive, heavier- 
foliaged type. The plant has been bred to develop a deep, 
compact, rosette center with a large mass of thick, tender, 
dark green leaves entirely free of purple or red color.

GEORGIA OR SOUTHERN. (50 days.) A non-heading type 
of the cabbage family, very extensively grown for greens in 
home and commercial gardens in Florida. Plant grows from 
two to three feet tall, is erect and spreading, with many large, 
undulated leaves on a white stem. Withstands cold as well as 
heat, and adverse soil conditions. A high yielding hardy type, 
of excelleut quality when cooked. This is the old standard 
variety for Florida and the South, and is used more exten- 
sively than any other variety.

VATES. (55 days.) This variety of collard was developed by 
Dr. M. M. Parker, Horticulturist and Vice Director of the Vir- 
ginia Truck Experiment Station at Norfolk, Va. 
It makes a very large, vigorous, rather low growing plant, 
not subject to wind damage, with very large, broad, heavy, 
thick leaf blades, the leaf blade developing from the base of the 
short stem or petiole. ‘The leaves are smooth with an attractive 
deep, dark green color, the stems and leaves never turning 
yellow or purplish even in the coldest weather or on poor soils. 
It retains this deep green color in shipment and on the markets. 
It ships and holds up, retaining a fresh appearance, much 
longer than other varieties. It is an enormous yield, large 
growers in the Norfolk area claiming they average 700 bushels 
per acre, and as high as 1000 bushels per acre have been 
secured. It is very slow to bolt to seed in cold or hot weather. 
It is exceedingly uniform as to plant type and free of mixture, 
our stock having been grown direct from the originator’s most 
recent selection. In quality it is claimed to be superior to any 
of the old standard varieties.

FLORIDA SAVOY (Long Stem). For cropping and bunching. 
(New.) (50 days.) This distinctly new variety was developed 
in Florida from the old ‘True Georgia by many years of con- 
tinuous selection for a type of slow seeding, uniform, true to 
type collard that would produce a heavy crop of leaves con- 
tinuously over a long season. The plant grows very tall, and 
the large, rich green, heavy lower leaves with long stems can 
be cropped and bunched for market every ten days or two 
weeks throughout the season. The plant makes an enormous 
yield of very large, thick, heavy, beautiful, slightly savoyed or 
curly leaves which are very tender and have an exceptionally 
sweet taste. For maximum yields, successive harvests of the 
large, heavy leaves as they develop up the stem should be made 
and tied in bunches, this variety not being adapted for harvest- 
ing the whole plant unless harvested very young. Every Florida 
collard grower should plant this new heavy yielding, attractive 
appearing, high quality variety.
