Mustard is not only used as a condi¬ 
ment, 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 nourish¬ 
ing as spinach. Produces an abundance 
of tender, succulent leaves in four to 
five weeks. 
Culture. Sow frequently, in rows 12 to 18 
inches apart, covering- seed 44 inch deep. Thin 
plants to 5 to 6 inches apart in the rows. Give 
clean cultivation. The plants are in condition for 
use as soon as the leaves are the size of one’s 
hand. Mustard runs to seed quickly, so that suc¬ 
cessive plantings are necessary for a continuous 
supply. One ounce will plant 100 feet of row; 2 
to 3 pounds, an acre. 
Okra is a most healthful vegetable and can 
be easily grown anywhere in the South. The 
young seed-pods are used in soups, stews, cat¬ 
sups, 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. Plantings should be delayed until 
the soil is warm. Plant thinly, in rows 2% 
feet apart, and cover seed about 1 inch deep.
