 many years of careful 

 study and selection. Its 

 productiveness is simply 

 wonderful. The pods 

 shoot out from the stalk 

 within three inches of 

 PERKINS' NEW MAMMOTH PODDED, the ground, and the 

 whole plant is covered with them to the height of a man's 

 head, five to six feet. The pods are an intense green color, 

 of unusual length, nine to ten inches, very slim, and do not 

 get hard, as is the case with other okras. Mr. Perkins has 

 always realized $3.00 to $4.00 per basket for his okras in Phil- 

 adelphia markets. It is also much sought after by eanners, 

 being the best of all green sorts for canning for winter use.
