OKRA 



PERKINS' MAMMOTH 



Days to maturity, 60-70. A pure bred, certified stock 

 of this well-known long green podded Okra. The plant 

 will grow to a height of 4 to 5 feet and is very pro- 

 ductive. 



DWARF GREEN LONG POD 



Days to maturity, 60-70. This also is a certified 

 stock of equally pure type to the Perkin's, but having 

 a dwarf type of bush. It will be found a very valuable 

 tock. 



TALL GREEN SHORT POD 



Days to maturity, 60-70. A certified stock of 

 great purity. The plant will grow to a height 

 of from 4 to 5 ft., bearing short pods of very 

 high quality. 



WHITE VELVET 



Days to maturity, 55-65. This is a special 

 stock of White Velvet secured from the lower 

 Rio Grande Valley. The above illustration indi- 

 cates the type of growth. This strain will prove 

 very prolific. The name "White Velvet" is 

 perhaps misleading. The pods are in reality a 

 light emerald green. 



We do not offer Okra in Canada. 



PARSNIP 



HOLLOW GROWN 



Days to maturity, 130. A variety known in 

 this country for over half a century. A variety 

 in very genera! use for table purposes or for stock feed. The root will attain a length 

 of from 8 to 10 inches. The color is pure white, uniformly smooth and of excellent 

 quality. The name. Hollow Crown, is derived from the depression, out of which the 

 leaves grow, at the crown of the root. For the best results, care should be taken in 

 the preparation of the soil, so that it may be loosened to a depth of about 10 inches. 



STOKES SEEDS 



PARSLEY 



HAMBURG TURNIP ROOTED 



Days to maturity, 80-90. No doubt this variety originated in Northern Europe. 

 It has been grown in this country for about one hundred years, Sinclair and Moor^ 

 having offered it in 1826. The root is the edible part of this variety resembling in 

 color and shape the root of the 

 parsnip. The leaves are very 

 similar to those of plain parsley, . 

 and are especially desirable for 

 flavoring and drying. The roots 

 may be stored for Winter use 

 very profitably. This is hot a 

 garnishing variety, but for the 

 purpose desired Hamburg is a 

 very valuable sort. 



Cham- 

 pion 

 Moss 



Curled 



Days to ma- 

 turity, 55-60. 

 Knowninthis 

 country at 

 least from the 

 time of Min- 

 ton Collins in 

 1793 as Cur- 

 led Parsley. 

 The other 

 prefixes have 

 apparently 

 been added 



during the last thirty or forty 

 years. This variety grows to a 

 height of about eight inches. The 

 color is a rich dark green and the 

 leaves are very finely cut. The 

 compact curled leaves are excel- 

 lent for garnishing, and, although 

 sometimes used for flavoring, we 

 do not recommend them for this 

 purpose as highl}*as either Ham- 

 burg Turnip Rotted or Plain. 

 For all general purposes, how- 

 ever, Champion Moss Curled is, 

 perhaps, the leading variety.
