MUSHROOM 



Mushrooms can be grown in cellars, sheds, hotbeds, and sometimes in the open 

 air, the chief essentials being uniform degrees of temperature and moisture. The 

 necessary cultural directions are published in pamphlet form, a copy of which we 

 shall be pleased to send on request. 



PURE CULTURE SPAWN Our spawn is produced from the original spore cul- 

 tures under the new French process, permitting the indefinite reproduction of 

 the variety selected. We use stock of the white variety generally preferred.

10 square feet. Per brick 45c. 

 Bottle Spawn Sufficient to spawn 40 square feet. $1.25.

MUSTARD 



Mustard greens are as healthful and nourishing as spinach. Mustard is related 

 to turnip, and although the tops are much alike in richness of flavor, mustard 

 leaves are more tender, and the stems are not so long and coarse. 



Seed may be sown from early spring to midsummer in rows 18 inches apart. 

 Thin to 5 or 6 inches apart in the rows. The plants are in condition for use as soon 

 as the leaves are the size of one's hand. Mustard runs to seed quickly, so that 

 successive plantings are necessary for a continuous supply. 



FLORIDA BROAD LEAF This quick growing, very productive variety remains 

 in condition for use a long time. The leaves are rounded, very slightly 

 crumpled, unfrilled, and very large. They are medium light green with a 

 broad, pale green midrib. Very popular. 

 Pkt. 5c; oz. 15c; Vi lb. 30c; lb. 75c. 



LARGE SMOOTH LEAF An excellent variety with very large, green, compara- 

 tively smooth leaves, borne well above ground. Quick growing, fairly upright 

 when young, becoming somewhat spreading when matured. Preferred by 

 many because it is more easily prepared for the table than the rougher leaved 

 varieties.

The improved varieties of mustard make such appetizing 



greens that they are becoming more popular every year. 



This is Southern Giant Curled- 



MUSTARD SPINACH or TENDERGREEN Plants of rapid and vig- 

 orous growth with comparatively narrow, spoon-shaped leaves of 

 dark green. It will stand longer than most varieties without send- 

 ing up seed stalks. Recommended for the home garden as well as 

 for shipping. 

 Pkt. 5c; oz. 10c; 1/4 lb. 25c; lb. 70c. 



SOUTHERN GIANT CURLED The leaves are large, light green with 

 a tinge of yellow, and much crumpled and frilled at the edges. The 

 plant is upright or slightly spreading in growth. This variety is 

 valued in the South on account of i^s vigorous growth, hardiness, 

 and good quality. 

 Pkt. 5c; oz. 10c; 1/4 lb. 25c; lb. 70c. 



ONION 



OKRA or GUMBO 



Okra pods are used in soups, stews, catsup and other relishes and are 

 very popular in the South. They are at their best when 1 to 3 inches 

 long. Seed does not germinate well at 

 cool temperatures, and planting should 

 be delayed until the ground is warm. 

 Drop 4 or 5 seeds to the foot in rows 

 about 23^ feet apart and cover about 

 an inch deep. Thin to about X}/^ feet 

 in the row and keep thoroughly cul- 

 tivated. 



A row or two of onions in the home garden will furnish a supply from 

 midsummer to the following spring. Onions are very hardy, and the 

 seeds will germinate in cool weather. They can be safely planted just 

 as soon as the soil can be prepared. Shallow planting is advisable, M to 

 }/2 inch being about right. When a few inches tall, the young plants can 

 be thinned to prevent crowding, and the plants removed can be used as 

 green onions. After that, they can be pulled as needed, and those that 

 are left to become fully ripe can be stored for winter. 



RED VARIETIES 



RED WETHERSFIELD One of the oldest>nd best known red onions. 

 Even in poor soils it produces heavily, and in the East it is ex- 

 tensively grown. The bulbs are large and flat, but quite thick. 

 The flesh is purplish-white and moderately fine grained, with a 

 rather strong but pleasant flavor. It is one of the best keepers.
