Southern Giant Curled Mustard 



For southern planting during the fall, winter and spring months, Mustard is in quite large demand. Northern 

 markets seem to be able to take care of large quantities of it. It is used either as a fresh salad or for garnishing. 

 By successive plantings of the seed every few weeks a continuous supply may be obtained. The Southern Giant 

 Curled is the most important variety and is the true curled-leaf sort, its leaves bemg light green in color and 

 crumpled and frilled at the edges. This variety is rather spreading in its growth. For northern use sow the seed 

 as early in the spring as the ground will permit, and the plants will continue to yield until after frost if they 

 are kept cut. The stock offered here is the true curled sort and is highlv recommended. One ounce will sow- 

 about 75 feet of drill. Pkt. 5 cts., oz. 10 cts., 141b. 20 cts., lb. 60 cts. 



OKRA 



This vegetable is becoming more popular each year and at this time is 

 quite extensively grown in some sections. Especially is this true in the South, 

 where large areas are devoted exclusively to its cultivation. The pods, as 

 may be seen in the illustration, are long and narrow. These fruit-pods are 

 used in soups, catsups and similar preparations. The glucose material in the 

 wall of the seed-cells gives body to the soup. Another very extensive use is 

 in canning tomatoes and other vegetables. It may also be dried and canned 

 separately for winter use. Okra plants grow large and rank, yielding six to 

 eight pods to the plant, and under the best conditions yielding ten to 

 twelve. In this section of the country it has been found that it is quite 

 subject to disease which often ruins the whole crop in a very short time. 

 There seems to be no spray which will prevent this disease. In order to 

 overcome it, we have been especially careful in selecting plants for seed 

 which appear to be disease-resistant. We will also select our future breed- 

 ing stocks with especial care in this detail. 



Culture. — Seed is sown late in the spring, after the ground has become 

 thoroughly warmed. The general distance between rows is 3 feet, and 

 plants should be thinned to 9 to 12 inches in the row. It is important in 

 harvesting Okra to have the pods picked while green and tender and before 

 they reach their full size. All white-podded fruits should be thrown away, 

 as they are not desired for market use. The seed-cells should have fairly 

 thick walls and the seeds should be quite similar in proportion.

S. S. Long-Pod 



S. S. Long-Pod Okra 



This variety is the most generally used and the most productive of any 

 which we are able to secure. It is the most popular type grown and can 

 be relied upon to be suitable under all conditions. The pods are dark green, very slim and tender, growing from 

 6 to 8 inches long. A characteristic of this variety is its habit of keeping green and tender for a long period, 

 making it a desirable shipping variety. Pkt. 5 cts., oz. 10 cts., Vilb. 25 cts., lb. 75 cts. 



OiNIOIN SETS 



While most large Onion-growers raise their general crop from seed sown in the open ground, wath many it 

 is desirable to have sets to produce extra-early crops. The sets should be placed in the ground very early in the 

 spring. Plant in rows 12 inches apart and 2 inches apart in the row. When the sets are too large there is a ten- 

 dency for the plants to go to seed. This may be hindered by bending the tops over, but do not break them off. 

 Large quantities of sets are grown on our Windermoor Farm every year. Only the very finest grade of seeds is 

 used and our trade should have every confidence in the stock offered.
