Brassica oleracea var. acephala

needed for greens during the winter, in the South. 
80 HM GEORGIA 
Southern 
Creole 
Blue Stem 
Able to withstand severe weather conditions. Forms a rosette or loose cluster of tender 
leaves at the top of a large plant from 2 to 3 feet in height. Generally grown in the 
South and adapted to conditions where cabbage will not grow. 
30 HMS MORRIS HEADING 
A shorter, slow bolting variety, for which reason it is good for winter planting. Stands 
up to 30 days longer than Georgia. Forms a compact top growth with very short stem 
and short petioles, a type of growth which makes this variety better adapted to market- 
ing as loose heads than as bunched leaves. Leaves are broad, somewhat crumpled, of 
medium green color with lighter veins. 
90 HM VATES 
A development of the Virginia Truck Experiment Station. Becoming very popular 
among market growers in the Southeast. Similar to Georgia in appearance, but with 
shorter petioles, and much longer standing.
