Onion Plants 
An Easy Way to Raise Onions 
RIVERSIDE SWEET SPANISH. (Yellow.) Planted in the spring 
these plants will produce large Spanish onions with very little labor 
When set out in the early spring, large handsome onions are produced 
within 8 to 10 weeks. These onions will grow in any good garden soil 
and will keep a long time. Set the plants 3 to 4 in. apart in rows 
15-18 in. apart. 
CRYSTAL WHITE WAX. Usually planted to grow early green onions, 
although the mature bulb is large flat, pure white and of superb flavor, 
making an excellent boiling or slicing onion for fall use. 
These plants are sold in bunches of about 100 plants. 
Price of either variety: Single bunch (about 100 plants) 35c; 2 bunches 
50c; 5 bunches $1.00 transportation paid. Not less than 1 bunch 
(about 100 plants) of a single variety sold. Prices on larger lots will 
be sent on application. 
We can supply onion plants between April 25th and May 15th only. 
Orders will be taken at any time for shipment between these dates. 
Please specify when you want the plants sent. 
Ocher (Ger.) OKRA or Gumbo Ocra (It.) 
A packet of seed will sow 15 feet of row; an ounce 50 feet. 
Used for thickening and flavoring soup. The pods contain a large amount of gum, which imparts 
a thickness and softness as well as flavor to the soup. It is also used as a vegetable. The pods 
should be picked before the seeds are developed. Directions for use can be found in any good cook 
book. Sow in the open ground when the ground is thoroughly warm, in this latitude about the 
first of June and not later than July 1st. Sow in rows 234 feet apart and thin the plants to 15 
inches apart. 
PERKINS LONG POD. The Standard Variety. Used almost exclusively by the soup canners, 
as the pods are of fine quality. The plant is very prolific and the pods are long, deep green color 
and somewhat ribbed or corrugated. The plant grows tall and the pods are 5 to 6 in. long. 
Pkt. 5c; Oz. 10c; 34 Lb. 25c; Lb. 75c. 
White Velvet. The pods are large, round and smooth, creamy white, and of excellent quality.

D Peanuts 
Peanuts can be successfully grown in the North on warm, sandy soil in a 
sheltered place with a southern exposure. South of Pennsylvania they can be 
grown on any good light soil. 
Plant the same time as corn, in rows 234 ft. apart. Drop the shelled nuts 
8-10 in. apart, cover 1 in. deep. When the plants are nearly full grown throw 
earth up to them. This will cause the nuts to form. 
EARLY SPANISH. The Earliest Kind. These are not large peanuts but 
are the earliest variety and very prolific. This is decidedly the best kind 
for planting in the North. 
Early Spanish 34 Lb. 25c; Lb. 40c; 5 Lbs. or more 35c per Lb. 
Perkins Long Pod Okra 
The young pods are used for ''gumbo" in soup.

PARSNIPS 
Pastinaca (It.) 
A packet of seed will sow about 25 feet of row; an ounce 150 feet. 
This fine vegetable should be in every home garden. A few rows will supply the needs 
of a family. The roots can be dug and stored in a pit outdoors or in moist dirt in a cool 
cellar and will supply a welcome addition to the winter vegetables. Try some “French 
fried” parsnips, they are delicious. Sow seed in May in rows 2 feet apart in finely 
pulverized soil and cover the seed only 34 in- deep. Thin the plants to 4 inches apart

whiter than any other parsnips. This and their smoothness

saleable in the market. Our seed is of our own growing from 
transplanted and carefully selected roots. It is far superior
