Triumph Watermelon 



TRIUMPH WATERMELON. This new melon, as a market 

 sort and for shipment, is the best we have ever introduced. It 

 is very prolific, very early, and of uniformly large size. It is a 

 cross between the Duke Jones and Kolb Gem; has the fine, hand- 

 some appearance of the former and the fine shipping qualities of 

 the latter. The rind, like the Duke Jones, is of dark green color, 

 the seed exactly the same color as those of the Kolb Gem. The 

 average size of the melon is very large. Our stock of this seed 

 is very limited. Packet, loc; 3/2 lb., 20c; lb., 35c. 



IMPROVED FLORIDA FAVORITE. This excellent va- 

 riety is a remarkably heavy yielder and one of the finest table 

 melons every grown. It is two weeks earlier than Kolb's Gem 

 or Gypsy; of medium size, covered with light and dark green 

 stripes, alternately; flesh deep red, delicious, sweet, very firm 

 and crisp. Its earliness and excellent quality are bound to make 

 it popular with those who plant for their own use and prefer 

 quality to enormous size. Packet, 5c; ounce, loc; % lb., 15c; 

 V2 lb., 25c; lb., soc.

GREEN OKRA 



OKRA OR GUMBO. 

 Ten Pounds to the Acre. 



DwABF Green Okra. 



CtJLTURE.— 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, i inch deep; thin to 10 inches 

 apiirt 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 North- 

 ern as in Southern gardens. Packet, 5 cents; ounce, 10 cents; 54 pound, 15 cents; Vi pound, 

 25 cents; pound, 40 cents. 



IMPROVED LONG GREEN. A very desirable sort for market gardeners, of medium 

 height; very productive; bears long pods, which remain tender a long time and are free 

 from hard ridges. Packet, 5 cents; ounce, 10 cents; ^ pound, 15 cents; pound, 40 cents.
