MUSTARD 



SOUTHERN GIANT CURLED 



This is verj' largely a Southern vegetable. Our stock is a 

 particularly fine one, the leaves being crumpled almost like a 

 head of lettuce. In the Southern states the seed is sown in the 

 Autumn and the young plants in the Spring are used as a salad. 

 The variety is vigorous, hardy and of good quality. We do not 

 oflfer this variety in Canada. 



CHINESE BROAD-LEAVED 



An excellent and entirely distinct type of Mustard, making a 

 much larger growth than the Curled type and remaining in table 

 condition for a long time. Its quick, almost rank growth, 

 insures tenderness, mildness and freedom from bitter flavor. We 

 do not offer this variety in Canada. 



STOKES SEEDS 



The above photograph shows a portion of our Winter Proving Grounds in the Rio Grande Valley of Texas. 

 It is our practice to maintain a Testing Laboratory and Proving (jrounds at each one of our branches. The 

 above trial plots at Weslaco, Texas are particularly valuable for the reason that we are able to secure mid- 

 winter trials of our newly received stocks. We thus are enabled to make immediate trial samples of all 

 incoming lots of seed as they arrive from our growing stations in various parts of the world, — a factor of 

 inestimable value to all of our customers. 



FENNEL or ANISE 



An Italian vegetable now well-known in the American trade. It is a native of Southern Europe. An 

 easily cultivated annual. Matures quickly. Seed should be sown early in the Spring in rich, well-prepared 

 soil, thinning to 10 inches apart in the row. The plant should be earthed up when half grown and treated 

 more or less like celery which it resembles in its lower growth. This vegetable has a place of considerable 

 prominence on the large markets catering to the trade of Europeans. Our Mr. F. C. Stokes made a thorough 

 inquiry into Fennel stocks when recently in Italy. The seed we offer is of a very high quality. 



GEORGIA COLLARDS 



Days to maturity, 80. A vegetable of the genus Brassica and resembling kale more than any other of that 

 family. It has never been adopted in a large way in the North, but in the South for greens it has been in 

 large demand. The plant will grow from two to four feet high, forming no heads but the central leaves often 

 form a loose rosette. As far south as the Orange Belt they are usually started in February or March and 

 the plants may then mature before the hot summer days. Farther north they are started in July or August 

 and the plants are ready for use before cold weather. We do not offer this variety in Canada.
