 Perkins' Mammoth Long Podded. 



This distinct new 

 okra is by far the 

 best. It was origi- 

 nated by M. B. Per- 

 kins, a well-known 

 New Jersey trucker, 

 after many years of 

 careful study and se- 

 lection. Its produc- 

 tiveness 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 extreme height 

 of the plant. The 

 pods are an intense 

 green color, of un- 

 usual length, eight to 

 nine inches, very 

 slim, and do not get 

 hard as is the case 

 with other okras. It 

 is also much sought 

 after by canners, be- 

 ing the best of all 

 green sorts for can- 

 ning for winter use. 

 Our seed is grown by 

 the originator. Pkt.,
