RICHARD FROTSCHER SEED CO., Ltd. 



Almost every kind of vegetables are shipped from Xew Orleans and vicinity, but Cucumbers, Egg- 

 plants, Beans, Peas, Tomatoes, Beets and Potatoesform the bulk. Of Cucumbers, the Xew Orleans market 

 are considered the best, as they retain their green color muth longer than any other variety, but the 

 Improved White Spine is also good, 



The ;Sew Orleans Market Eggplant is an excellent variety and much demanded up North and West 

 on account of its handsome shape and color. It bears transportation well. 



Of Beans, both Bush and Pole, a multitude of varieties are planted, but the Best of AH, Improved 

 Yalentine and White Crease Back, or as it is erroneously called here, "Mobile,'" carry especially well. 

 The Wax Beans, which are more tender, ship well during a dry season, but in wet weather they are apt 

 to rust or spot. 



Tomatoes, owing to our damp atmosphere, are tender and rot too easy to be of any import-ance in 

 shipping. 



Beets are largely shipped from here, especially the early kinds. 



Lettuce, especially the Xew Orleans Improved Passien, Trocadero and Large Royal are largely 

 planted for shipping, bringing, if well packed, usually good prices. 



An important article is Cabbage, thousands of crates of which are annually shipped from here, and 

 it is especially Frenier which supplies the Chicago market. 



Our Gardeners should try and grow vegetables for shipping as early as possible, so as to brings their 

 stuff to the market ahead of any other point from which vegetables are shipped and get prices which 

 enables them to ship with profit.
