PERKINS* MA3I- 

 MOTH LONG POD- 

 DED. This distinct 

 new okra is by far the 

 best. It was originated 

 by M. B. Perkins, a well- 

 k n o w n New Jersey 

 trucker, after many 

 >ears of careful study 

 and selection. Its pro- 

 ductiveness 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 si.x feet. The pods are an 

 intense green color, of vmusual length, nine to ten inches, 

 very slim, and do not get hard, as is the case with other okras. 

 Mr. Perkins has always realized S3.00 to S4.00 per basket for 

 his okras in Philadelphia markets. It is also much sought 

 after by canners, being the best of all green sorts for canning 

 for winter use. Our seed is grown bv the originator. Pkt.,
