WATERMELON 
WASSER-MELONE 
Four to five pounds to an acre. One ounce for thirty hills. Cultivate as for Muskmelon. 
TRIUMPH WATERMELON. This new melon, as a 
market sort and for shipment, is the best we have ever intro- 
duced. It is very prolific, very early, and of uniformly large 
size. It is a cross between the Duke Jones and Kolb Gem; 
has the fine, handsome appearance of the former and the fine 
shipping qualities of the latter. The rind, like the Duke Jones, 
is of dark green color, the seed exactly the same color as those 
of the Kolb Gem. The average size of the melon is very large, 
Our stock of this seed is very limited. Packet, 10 cents; % 
pound, 20 cents; pound, 35 cents. 
IMPROVED FLORIDA FAVORITE. This excellent va- 
riety is a remarkably heavy yielder and one of the finest table 
melons ever grown. It is two weeks earlier than Kolb’s Gem or 
Gypsy; of medium size, covered with light and dark green 
stripes, alternately; flesh deep red, delicious, sweet, very firm and 
crisp. Its earliness and excellent quality are bound to make it 
popular with those who plant for their own use and prefer 
quality to enormous size. Packet, 5 cents; ounce, Io cents; 4 
Triumph Watermelon pound, 15 cents; % pound, 25 cents; pound, 50 cents.

OKRA OR GUMBO. 
G R E E N O K R A Ten Pounds to the Acre. 
CULTURE.—tThis vegetable is extensively grown for its green pods, which are used in soups, stews, etc., to 
which they impart a rich flavor, and are considered nutritious. Sow the seed thickly in rich ground about the 
middle of May, or when the ground has become warm, in drills 3 feet apart, 1 inch deep; thin to 10 inches 
apart in drills. 
DWARF GREEN PROLIFIC OKRA or GUMBO. ‘This vegetable is too little grown, 
as its green pods impart a fine flavor and consistency to soups and stews, besides being very 
palatable when stewed and served as a dish of asparagus. The pods can be easily dried for 
winter. It is universally used throughout the South and is as easily raised as a weed in the 
North. So delicious is the flavor that when once used it will be grown every year in North- 
ern as in Southern gardens. Packet, 5 cents; ounce, 10 cents; 4 pound, 15 cents; % pound, 
25 cents; pound, 40 cents. 
IMPROVED LONG GREEN. A very desirable sort for market gardeners; of medium 
height; very productive; bears long pods, which remain tender a long time and are free 
from hard ridges. Pkt., 5c.; oz., toc.; % Ib., 15c.; 1b., 4oc.
