PERKINS' MAM- 

 MOTH LONG POD- 

 DED. This distinct new 

 okra is by far the best. 

 It was originated by M. 

 B. Perl- ins, a well- 

 known New Jersey 

 trucker, after many 

 years 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 ex- 

 treme height of the 

 plant. 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 

 $t.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 by the origin- 

 ator. Pkt., 5c.; oz., lOc; 

 14 lb., 3()c.; lb.. 81. dO,

 found exceptionally tender and choice. Pkt., 5c ; oz., lOc; 

 y. lb., 25c.; lb., 75c. 



IMPROVED DWAK*' GREEN PROLIFIC, or DEN- 

 SITY. A distinct variety, growing about fourteen inches in 

 height. Grown in competition with the ordinary dwarf, it 

 produced twice the number of pods, which are very smooth 

 and beautiful. Pkt., 5c.; oz., lOc; 34 lb., 25e.; lb., ^5c. 



WHITE VELVET. This distinct and beautiftil new 

 okra was originated in Georgia. The pods are very large, 

 perfectlv smooth, never prickly, round, not ridged or square, 

 as in other okras. Pkt., 5c.; oz., lOc; 34 lb., 20c.; lb., 6uc. 



MAKE NO MISTAKES. Put Your Money in Good Seeds 



Do not be influenced by bulky catalogues, extravagant 

 descriptions and impossible pictures originating in the mind 

 of some great artist. Common sense is said to be the best 

 manure the gardener can use, and it commences in the se- 

 lection of seed. Use your common sense and don't be in- 

 fluenced by alluring statements which won't bear the test of 

 the garden.

Parsley

A SINGLE PLANT OF 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 

 leaves are large and beautifully curled and of a very dark 

 green. It stands heat, drought and cold better, and 

 will yield double 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."
