Every Southern Farm Should Have a Vegetable Garden 
GROW MUSTARD A JW2& 
Mustard is not only used as a condiment, but the large 
green leaves are used as a salad, or boiled like spinach or 
turnip-tops, and served as “greens.” They are fully as 
healthful and nourishing as spinach. Makes a fine old- 
fashioned dish cooked with salt pork. Produces an 
abundance of tender, succulent leaves within four to 
five weeks after sowing seed.

Okra is a most healthful vegetable and can be 
easily grown anywhere in the South. The young 
seed-pods are used in soups, stews, catsups, relishes, 
and other dishes, or may be served alone. Okra 
makes a delicious salad. The type-selection work 
on our own farm has been consistent, and we 
believe our stocks are the finest strains in America. 
Culture. The seed does not germinate quickly at cool 
temperatures, and plantings should be delayed until the soil 
is warm. Plant thinly, in rows 2 Yi feet apart, and cover seed 
about 1 inch deep. Thin to about 12 to 15 inches apart, and 
cultivate thoroughly. Requires 8 to 10 weeks to mature.
