OKRA 
(Hibiscus Esculentus.) 
Gombaud. Ocher. Ocra. Ouimbombo. 
CULTURE.—1 ounce is sufficient for 100 feet of drill; 6 to 8 pounds will sow an acre. 
The seed of okra will not germinate when the ground is cold and wet, and it should not, 
therefore, be planted too early in the season. Sow from May to July 1 inch deep in rows 
4 feet apart for the tall or 2% feet for the dwarf, thinning to 1 plant every 3 feet between 
the tall kinds or half that distance between the dwarf. Cultivate frequently and keep the 
earth worked up to the stem. 
Perkin’s Mammoth. 
Of the green okras, this is easily the most valuable, as the 
_ prettily-shaped pods average more than four inches in 
length, and when full grown, have scarcely a trace of the woody fibre characteristic of 
ordinary varieties. It is a strong grower, often reaching over six feet in height, and no 
okra rivals it in yield, the bush being literally covered with pods. The color is an intense 
green, so dark that dried slices, after cooking, look perfectly fresh. Canners prefer it to 
all others, and it will be found best for all local markets which do not demand white okras. 
Pkt. 5 cts., oz. 10 cts., % lb. 20 cts., 1 lb. 60 cts. Postpaid. 
An early dwarf growing sturdy variety, producing 
___ an abundance of long fluted dark green pods. This 
Okra is especially adapted for home garden use, because the pods remain in prime con¬ 
dition for cooking or canning until quite large. In our judgment it is the best dwarf 
okra. Pkt. 5 cts., oz. 10 cts., ^4 lb. 20 cts., lb. 60 cts. Postpaid. 
Dwarf Green Long Pod. 
Kleckley’s Favorite. 
We must continue to call attention to this splendid white 
_sort and its superiority for family use. The plant grows 
about the same height as Perkin’s Mammoth, and the pods are perfectly smooth. Pkt. 5 
cts., oz. 10 cts., ^ lb. 20 cts., 1 lb. 60 cts. Postpaid.
