In the south, a form of the plant known as Georgia CoUards is much grown for domestic use and the southern market. The plant grows to 2-3 ft. high and forms no head, but the central Ivs. often form a kind of loose rosette. These tender Its. are eaten as a pot-herb, as all other kales are. Fig. 295, page 199, shows a Georgia CoUard, although the rosette is not well marked. The seeds may be started in a frame under glass, or in a seed-bed in the open. As far south as the orange-belt, they are usually started in February and March, in order that the plants may ma- ture before the dry, hot weather. Farther north they are started in July or August, and the plants are ready for use before cold weather. Transplant to rows 3K-1 ft. apart, and 3 ft. apart in the row. Till as for cabbage. Young cabbage plants are sometimes eaten as " greens " under the name of CoUards; and cabbage seeds are sown for this specific purpose. In the north, where heading cabbages can be raised, CoUards of whatever kind are not greatly prized. L. jj. B.
