 Pearl and Prizetaker for fall shipments only.

 the leaves may commence to be gathered, and the plants 

 will continue to yield until frost sets in. The leaves are eaten 

 boiled like spinach. They are very little diminished in sub-

 PERKINS' JIAmSIOTH LONG PODDED. This dis- 

 tinct new okra is by far the best. It was originated by M. B. 



Perkins, a well-known 

 New Jersey trucker, after 

 ' many years of careful 

 study and selection. Its 

 • productiveness is simply 

 wonderful. The pods 

 shoot out from the stalk 

 within three inches of 

 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 

 Sl.OUper basket for his 

 okras in Philadelphia 

 markets. It is also much 

 sought after by canners, 

 1 being the best of all

Photograph of a single plant Of makket gai£ueni;r.s' best. 



Market Gardeners' Best Parsley. 



The best points yet obtained in parsley have certainly 

 been reached in this sort. The plant is of a very robust and 

 free growth, and is greatly improved by severe cutting. The 

 le.aves are large and beautifully curled and of a very dark 

 green. It stands heat, drought and cold better and 

 will yield doulile that of any other sort. The whole appear- 

 ance of the plant is very handsome, and it certainly is "the 

 parsley for either the market or family garden."
