 long and 12 inches in diameter. Skin is a rich, dark green; flesh bright 

 scarlet, ripening close to the rind which is but half an inch thick, so

 ing and entirely free from stringiness. Packet, 5 cents; ounce, 10 

 cents; % lb., 25 cents; pound, 75 cents. 



New Eden Watermelon. 



This melon originated in South Carolina, and is a cross between 

 the Rattlesnake and Kolb's Gem, combining the good shipping 

 qualities of the Kolb's Gem with the splendid table quality of the Rat- 

 tlesnake. It is similiar in shape and appearance to the Kolb's Gem, ex- 

 cepting it is of bright stripes and more attractive in appearance. The 

 seeds are white and set in small cavities. The flesh is very firm yet tender 

 and delicious in flavor and bright red. The rind is very tough making 

 it the best for shipping. Packet, 5 cents; ounce, 10 cents; X lb., 30 

 cents; pound, $1.00. 



Triumph Watermelon. 



It is a cross between Duke Jones and Kolb's Gem. It has the hand- 

 some appearance and dark green color of the former and the shipping 

 qualities of the Gem; medium season, very prolific, deliciously sweet and of enormous size. It possesses all the qualities that 

 go to make up a desirable melon. Packet, 5 cents; ounce, 10 cents; % lb., 20 cents; pound, 60 cents.

 shape. Packet, 5 cents; ounce, 10 cents; % lb., 20 cents; pound, 60 cents.

GREEN OKRA. 



OKRA OR GUMBO. 

 Ten Pounds to the Acre. 



Dwarf Green Okra, 



CULTURE. This vegetable is extensively grown for its green pods, which are used in soups, 

 stews, etc., to which they impart a rich flavor, and are considered nutritious. Sow the seed thickly 

 in rich ground about the middle of May, or when the ground has become warm, in drills 3 feet apart, 

 1 inch deep; thin to 10 inches apart in drills. 



Dwarf Green Prolific Okra or Gumbo. 



This vegetable is too little grown, as its green pods impart a fine flavor and consistency to soups 

 and stews, besides being very palatable when stewed and served as a dish of asparagus. The pods 

 can be easily dried for winter. It is universally used throughout the South and is as easily raised as 

 a weed in the North. So delicious is the flavor that when once used it will be grown every year in 

 Northern as in Southern gardens. Packet, 5 cents; ounce, 10 cents: % pound, 15 cents; l / 2 pound, 

 25 cents; pound, 40 cents. 



Improved Long Green.

 which remain tender a long time and are free from hard ridges. Packet, 5 cents; ounce, 10 cents; 

 % pound, 15 cents; pound, 40 cents.
