OKRA, OR GUMBO 
The long, tender pods of okra are very delicious when sliced and cooked in soups. While this is its chief use, it is also boiled and 
served like other classes of vegetables. The tall sorts should be planted in hills about a foot apart, using about one ounce to 100 hills. 
The dwarf sorts may be planted in hills or in rows about three feet apart. Plant in any good soil about April 15th. The pods should be 
gathered when very young as they are then very tender.

Okra — TiOng Fed 
A well-known vegetable for table use. It is also a very good stock food 
and quite as nutritious as carrots. It prefers very wet soil, and will thrive 
where carrots will not grow. A sandy soil is preferred since the roots are 
very long, and are difficult to dig in stiff soil. Sow the seed in the spring 
in 12 to 18-inch drills, using one-fourth ounce to 100 feet. In the field sow 
in rows 12 inches apart, using three pounds per acre.
