 DWARF PROLIFIC, 

 or DENSITY. A dis- 

 tinct variety, growing

 the number of pods,

 ridged or square as in

 PERKINS' MAMMOTH LONG PODDED. This 

 distinct new okra is by far the best. It was originated by M. 

 B. Perkins, a well-known New Jersey trucker, after many 

 years of careful study and selection. Its productiveness is 

 simply wonderful, the pods shooting out from the bottom of 

 the stalk within three inches of the ground, and the whole 

 plant is covered with them to the height of a man's head, 

 five to six feet. The pods are an intense green color, of 

 ml usual length, nine to ten inches, very slim, and do not get 

 hard, as is the case with other okras. Mr. Perkins has always 

 realized S3.00 to $4.00 per basket for his okras in Philadelphia 

 markets; and it is also much sought after by eanners, being 

 the best of all green sorts for canning for winter use. Our 

 seed is grown by the originator. Pkt., 5c.; oz., lOc; 34 lt>-, 

 2.5c.; lb., SI. 00; 5 lbs. and over, 80c. per lb.
