 Prices of sets subject to marKet changes. Write for special prices in unantity. We annually 

 grow thousands of bushels of the Choicest Onion Sets. The enormous increased demand which we have had 

 from year to 3ear has permitted us to greatly increase our facilities for growing and handling Recleaned 

 Onion Sets. This demand is sufficient proof that our Choice Recleaned Onion Sets are pleasing our customers 

 and attracting the attention of their neighbors and other growers. We grow and sell more choice re-cleaned 

 Onion Sets than any other house in the Southern States, and each year for five consecutive years we have 

 doubled our acreage. We prefer to sell by weight, because we have found by long experience that it is by far 

 the most satisfactorj', and the customer knows just exactly what he buys. Whereas if he buys by measure he 

 will find every person has a different idea of what a bushel really is. Therefore, to always have a satisfactory 

 understanding with our customers, we give a weighed bushels of 32 pounds.

Culture. Sow late in the Spring, after the ground has become warm, in drills 3 feet apart, where the plants are to remain- 

 Thin out from 9 to 12 inches. They should be well manured. They may also be raised in pots or a hot bed, and transplanted. 1 oz- 

 to 40 ft. of drill; 10 lbs. to the acre. 



198. PerKin's Mammoth Long'-Podded OKra.— Pods shoot out from the stalk within three inches 

 of the ground and the whole plant is covered with them to its extreme height. Pods are an intense 

 green color. 9 to 10 inches long, very slim and do not get hard. It is much sought by canners _ 



201. Bolgiano's Imperial Dwarf Short Podded OKra. -It has a dwarf shapely, dense pod of an 

 attractive pea-green color. The fiavor is exceptionally rich. Our home canners willingly pay 20 to 

 25 rents per box more than any other sorts would bring _ 



Z^i. Lady Finger OKra.— The plants are uniform in growth, and with their Hibicus-like flowers 

 make a pretty sight. The plants produce long, tender poos oi tine round form, white and smooth 



199. Dwarf Green Prolific Density OKra or Gumbo.— Its green pods impart fine flavor and con- 

 sistency to soups and stews, beside being palatable when stewed and ser%'ed as a dish of Asparagus... 



200. White Velvet OKra. — The pods of this distinct and beautiful new Okra are much longer ; per- 

 fectly smooth, never prickly

Culture. Sow thickly during early Spring, in shallow drills, and press the earth well down. For Fall Salad, sow in September 

 or in frames or boxes during winter.

204. Ostrich Plume Mustard or FordhooK Fancy. — Desirable and ornamental. It is distinct from any other variety now in 

 cultivation. The plants are of vigorous growth, and the beautiful dark green leaves curve outwardly like a fine ostrich plume. The 

 •edges are as thoroughly curled and laciniated as the best double curled parsley making the leaves equally desirable for garnishing. 

 So attractive is the habit of growth and the feathery effect of the finely fringed leaves that this plant is quite worthy of a place in the 

 garden as an ornamental border plant, aside from its utility as a Salad or boiling green. It is more productive than any other variety 

 from early spring sowings, anci also more stubborn in running to seed. It stands well, even during the hot summer months, while 

 the young leaves can be cut quite as early as those of other sorts. PKt. 5c, Oz. lOc. 1/4 Lb. 15c. Lb. 50c.

Mushrooms. 



Culture. — Mushrooms may be grown in cellars, under benches of green houses, or in sheds 

 wherever the temperature of 50 degrees can be kept up through the winter. The beds should 

 be made from November to February, according to the time the Mushrooms are wanted, and it 

 requires about two months for them to begin bearing. Secure fresh horse-dung, free from 

 straw and litter, and mix an equal bulk of loam from an old pasture with it. Keep this uuder 

 cover, taking care to turn it every day to prevent heating, until the pile is large enough to make 

 a bed of the required size. Three or four feet wide, eight inches deep and any length desired 

 are the proper proportions for a bed ; but these may be varied. Prepare the mixture of loam 

 and manure, making the bed in layers and pounding down each with the back of the spade. 



I,eave this to heat through for a few days, and as soon as the heat subsides to 90 degrees, make holes in the bed about 

 a foot apart each way, into which put pieces of the spawn 2 or 3 inches in diameter; fill up the holes with compost, 

 and at the expiration of a week or ten days the spawn will have thoroughly diffused itself through the bed. Spread 

 layer of soil over the heap to a depth of 2 inches, and cover with 3 or 4 inches hay, straw or litter. Examine bed often 

 to see that it does not get drj-. Take special care, however, when water is given that it be at a temperature of 100.
