 culent is a very simple mailer, re- 

 quiring ordinary intelligence and 

 care. FuUand explicit instructions

 NEW LADY FINGER— To our friends in the south it is unnecessary 

 to say anything about the advantage of your green seed pods of 

 Okra for flavoring soups. In the Middle and Northern states 

 they are not so thoroughly appreciated as they deserve to be. 

 The seed pods produced in abundance, give a consistency and 

 flavor to soup that is unequalled. The variety I now offer is 

 quite prolific, producing long slender pods of the form of a lady's

 valuable forage for stock. Plant in April and they will ripen 

 before September, even as far north as Canada . Hundreds of 

 my young friends have written me that they had a wonderful 

 crop the past season. It will pay everyone to try them. Plant 



two inches deep, eight inches in the row
