HASTINGS’ GEORGIA GROWN OKRA SEED 
The okra plant is a near relative of cotton and it stands to reason that seed of 
okra for best results should be grown in the cotton-growing region. In the past 
we have tried growing okra seed elsewhere, but we have been regularly disap- 
pointed every time we went away from the Cotton Belt to grow okra seed. This 
jear e\ery pound of okra seed we have has been grown here in the State of Georgia. 
Uur experience has been that Georgia can and does produce better okra seed 
than any other State and that is exactly the reason why every pound of our okra 
seed is grown here now. Okra or gumbo is a most healthful vegetable and ought 
to be plentiful in every southern garden. In our seed growing work here in 
Georgia we have developed two splendid strains of the White Velvet and Per- 
kins’ Mammoth, both being far superior to what is offered under these names by 
other houses and we are sure that seed of either of these two varieties will please 
you. Plant 1 ounce of seed to 50 feet of row ; about S pounds per acre. 
Hastings’ White Veivet Okra 
and local markets. We have a spe- 
cially fine, early, very round, 
smooth podded strain of medium 
size, the pods being almost alto- 
gether free from ridges and is not 
prickly to the touch. This strain 
of the White Velvet we find to be 
the very best of all the White vari- 
eties. Packet, 5 cents; ounce, 10 
cents; % pound. 20 cents; pound,

Perkins’ Mammoth Long Podded Okra fre'ln '^podded 
okra is by far the best variety for market and shipping purposes, being used by 
Southern truckers almost exclusively for this purpose. The original strain as 
originally introduced by us has been greatly improved and its productiveness is 
simply wonderful, the pods starting to shoot out within 3 or 4 inches from the 
bottom of the stalk and the whole plant is covei-ed with them to the height of a 
man’s head (5 to 6 feet). Pods of an intensely dark green color of unusual 
length, frequently 9 to 10 inches long. Are very slim and do not harden up as is 
usually the case with other varieties. Packet. 5 cents; ounce, 10 cents; % pound, 
20 cents; pound, CO cents; postpaid. 10 pounds, not prepaid, $4.50. 
PARSLEY— Culture 
either spring or fall 
in rows 15 inches apart. Seed is slow to germinate, 
often taking 3 to 5 weeks. When plants have become 
strong, thin out to 6 inches apart. Keep the ground 
well stirred and free from weeds and grass. You 
should soak seed in water at least 12 hours before 
planting. Plant one ounce of seed to 200 feet of row; 
3 pounds per acre.

variety is the most 
ornamental of all and is handsome enough to have a 
place in your flower garden. A fayorite sort for gar- 
nishing and to supply hotels and markets. This va- 
riety is planted almost exclusively by Atlanta market
