VEGETABLE SEEDS 
ONIONS 
As early as soil can be worked in Spring, sow the seeds 
thinly in drills 1 foot apart, and cover lightly, later thinning 
out to about 6 inches apart in the row. The soil must be well 
fertilized and be made very friable. In hot weather, water 
frequently. Don’t forget that the first crop you will bring in 
from your garden will be “Spring” Onions. Plant Onion sets 
as early as your ground will permit for little green Onions, and 
some for late big Onions. All varieties (except as noted): 
Pkt. 5c; oz. 25c; % lb. 75c; 1 lb. $2.25, postpaid. 
Crystal Wax Bermuda. Medium size, pure, waxy white. One 
of mildest sorts grown. Pkt. 5c; oz. 30c; X A lb. $1.00; 1 lb. $3.00, 
postpaid. 
ONION SETS. Sets are Northern grown, hardy, carefully 
cleaned, sized and packed. Produced for Western conditions. 
Plant Onion sets deep for green Onions and shallow for dry 
Onions. Lb. 10c. Write for quantity prices. 
Oregon Yellow Danvers. Bulbs large, half globe, small neck, 
thin, brownish skin. Flesh firm, fine grained, white, mild. 
Ripens up hard and early. A good keeper. Best for Coast 
markets. 
Riverside Sweet Spanish. A large, globe shaped, brown 
onion, weighing 1 to 3 pounds. Small tops. Flesh mild and 
sweet. 
White “Bunching.” An attractive “green onion.” The young 
stalks are crisp and mild, attaining a good size before the 
bulb forms. 
White Portugal, or Silverskin. A good second early white 
flat Onion. It should be planted any time from November 1st 
until April 1st. It is a good keeper and desired for shipping. 
Under good cultivation the average diameter is from 4 to 6 
inches. 
Yellow Globe Danvers. An outstanding variety, dependable 
cropper, medium late, hardy, and excellent keeper: used for 
shipping and storage. Bulbs medium size, spherical, clear 
yellow, firm and solid with tough, clinging skin. Flesh white 
with slight yellow tone. 
OKRA or GUMBO 
Sow seed early in May, in rows 3 feet apart and 2 inches 
deep. As plants appear, thin out to about 1 foot apart. Pkt. 5c; 
oz. 15c; X A lb. 35c, postpaid. 
Improved Dwarf Green. Early. Short, thick pods. 
White Velvet. Tender, long white pods. 
MUSTARD 
Seed may be sown from early Spring to midsummer in rows 
18 inches apart. Thin to 5 or 6 inches apart in the rows. 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 
successive plantings are necessary for a continuous supply. 
Pkt. 5c; 1 oz. 10c; X A lb. 25c; 1 lb. 75c. 
Fordhook Fancy. The plume-like leaves of this variety are 
closely curled and finely fringed. The medium yellowish green 
color and compact erect habit of growth lend a decorative 
touch to the garden, and the tender quality and fine flavor 
make it most desirable for salads and greens. 
Southern Giant Curled. The leaves are large, light green with 
a tinge of yellow, and much crumpled and frilled at the edges. 
The plant is upright or slightly spreading in growth. This 
variety is valued in the South on account of its vigorous 
growth, hardiness, and good quality. 
PEPPER 
Culture and soil and temperature requirements are about 
the same as for Eggplant. A moderate dressing of Guano, 
poultry manure, or complete commercial fertilizer, hoed into 
the soil after the plants are 6 or 8 inches tall, will be very 
beneficial. Pkt. 5c; 1 oz. 60c; X A lb, $1.75, postpaid. 
California Wonder. Thickness of flesh alone, which is often 
% of an inch, places this sweet Pepper above all others. It is 
crisp and juicy, too, without a trace of pungency. Vigorous 
growing plants bear a heavy yield of blocky fruits that become 
as much as 5 inches long and 4 inches wide. 
Chinese Giant. Fruits are often 6 inches across and 4% to 5 
inches deep. The flesh is moderately thick and very mild. 
The fruits are rich bright green when young, and bright 
cherry red at maturity. 
Large Bell or Bullnose. A popular, early, sweet prolific sort, 
with small, erect plants. Fruits blunt; flesh of fine quality 
and mild flavor. Much used for stuffing. 
Long Red Cayenne. This well known, medium early Pepper 
is especially good for drying purposes. The fruit is 4 inches 
long and 1 inch thick, twisted and pointed. It is deep green 
when young and bright red when ripe. The flesh is strong 
and pungent. 
Perfection Pimiento. A splendid canning variety, adapted to 
home and market garden culture. Plants large, erect, prolific. 
Fruits heart shaped, very smooth; flesh exceptionally thick, 
sweet and mild. 
PARSNIP 
Sow the seed as soon as season will permit, in drills about 
2 feet apart, and thin plants out to 1 foot apart in the row. 
The ground should be deeply trenched and well manured. 
Hollow Crown, Thick Shoulder. This is the best and most 
popular variety in cultivation. The skin is smooth and white, 
while the flesh is tender. The roots grow 18 to 20 inches in 
length, but the first 8 inches from the top is the best part. 
Pkt. 5c; oz. 10c; X A lb. 25c; 1 lb. 60c, postpaid.
