COLLARDS. French, Chou; German, Blatter-Kohl. A species of cabbage, known also as Cole, or Colewort, grown throughout the south for greens. Sow in autumn, in rows a foot apart, and treat the same as cabbage. TRUE GEORGIA, or SOUTHERN.—The leading and best variety. CoHards. CORN, SWEET. French, Mais; German, Welschkorn; Spanish, MMz. Corn thrives best in warm, rich soil. The smaller varieties may be planted ten inches apart in drills made two and a half feet apart. The larger kinds should be planted a foot apart in drills made three and a half feet apart, or may be planted in hills three and a half feet apart, each way, allowing three or four stalks to remain in a hill; the latter is the usual way, though in drills the prod- uct is greater per acre. Success can only be secured by thorough cultivation. In cooking the varieties having red cobs, the ears should be dropped into boiling water, and removed as soon as done, or the kernels will become stained. EXTRA EARLY CORY.—The earliest sweet variety yet introduced, being ready for the table at least a week in advance of the Marblehead. It produces the largest ears of any of the very early kinds, and is rapidly growing in favor. When ripe, the grains have a peculiar yellowish pink color. EXTRA EARLY HARBLEHEAD.—A very early sweet variety. Of dwarf growth, ears rather small, but well formed and full. Very sweet, rich, and tender. When cooking put the ears in boiling water and remove as soon as done, or the red cob will stain the corn. EARLY MINNESOTA.—One of the earliest kinds of sweet corn. The ears are of the best Quality; it is very productive. A popular early variety. EARLY PEE AND KAY.—Quite large ears for so early a variety. Ten or twelve rowed, straight
