Okra Is a Very Profitable Late Spring and Summer Crop for Florida and the South 
OKRA 
Plant 8 pounds of seed per acre 
Okra does wonderfully well all over Florida and the South where the young seed-pods are used in many 
different ways and are highly esteemed. It is a healthful vegetable and should be planted in every southern 
garden. We have done a great deal of work on our stocks of this valuable southern vegetable. We are con¬ 
fident we have the best strains of Okra seed obtainable anywhere. 
Culture. Okra can be planted any time from February until September, but it is a warm-weather plant and will not do much 
until the ground becomes warm; in fact, the seeds are hard to germinate when the ground is cold. It can be planted in almost 
any kind of soil. You do not get big money out of an Okra crop at any one time, but it continues to bear for several months. 
We consider it one of the easiest and safest money crops that can be planted. Plant in rows 2*4 to 3 feet apart and sow thinly 
in the drill. When 3 to 4 inches high, thin out to one stalk every 10 to 15 inches. Okra should be cut every second day. If 
this is not done some of the pods become too hard and the young plants will stop bearing pods.
