CELERY (Cont'd) 
FLORIDA GOLDEN NO. 15. (115 days.) One of the 
best varieties for a mid-winter crop in Florida, because 
it withstands cold weather better than most varieties 
of the Special or Golden Plume type. Selected for uni- 
formly 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 in 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 attractive pack. We introduced this 
improved variety. It is intermediate between the Old 
Golden and Special or Golden Plume types, possessing 
the desirable characteristics of both types. Recom- 
mended especially for a Florida mid-winter crop.

COLLARD 
Sow ¥2 pound in seedbed to plant an acre, or plant 
2 pounds per acre in field. 
For the garden make two sowings at different times. Sow one 
packet in seedbed for 35 plants for each planting to set 50 
feet of row, or one packet in 50 feet of row. 
Culture. Collard is an old standby for winter greens 
all over the South. May be started in seedbeds or 
direct in the field, in rows 2% to 3 feet apart, with 
plants 14 to 18 inches apart in the row. Use about 1200 
pounds of fertilizer per acre before setting plants. Col- 
lard can be grown every month of the year in Florida, 
but it grows best and produces the highest edible qual- 
ity during cool weather. This vegetable should be in- 
cluded 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 time from setting out plants to harvest. 
It requires about a month in the seedbed to get plants 
from seed sowing to transplanting stage. 
Prices quoted are postpaid.

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 ad- 
verse soil conditions. A high yielding hardy type, of

lected for uniformity and resistance to early seeding.

It retains this deep green color in shipment and on the 
markets. A heavy yielder slow to bolt to seed in cold 
or hot weather. 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

varieties.
