MUSTARD 
A packet will sow 50 feet of row, an ounce 200 feet. 
CULTURE. This quick growing plant is raised chiefly for greens which are fully as healthful and 
nourishing as spinach. Seed may be sown as early in the spring as the ground will permit, in rows 
18 inches apart, covering 44 inch deep. Thin to 5 or 6 inches apart in the rows, water freely. Mus- 
tard runs to seed quickly so that successive plantings are necessary for a continuous supply. 
Southern Giant Curled 
Popular in the South because of its vigorous growth, hardiness and good 
quality. Plants are upright growing, about 2 feet tall; leaves are large, light 
green tinged with yellow and much crimped and frilled at the edges. 
OKRA OR GUMBO 
A packet will sow 15 feet of row, an ounce 50 feet. 
Used for thickening and flavoring soup, also in catsup and other relishes. It is also used as a 
vegetable and is commonly grown in the south where it is very popular. The pods should be picked 
before the seeds are developed and are at their best when 1 to 3 inches long. 
CULTURE. Sow in the open when the ground is thoroughly warmed, in this latitude about June 
ist, 4 or 5 seeds to the foot, in rows 2% feet apart. Thin to about 15 inches apart and keep thor- 
eughly cultivated. 
Perkins Mammoth Long Pod 
This prolific and early variety is used almost exclusively by soup canners. 
Pods are 4 to 5 inches long, slightly corrugated, deep green color and of fine 
quality. 
ONION 
A packet will sow about 25 feet of row; an ounce 150 feet; 4 to 5 lbs. per acre. 
CULTURE. Onions require a rich soil and where manure is used it should be plowed under in 
the fall so as to be thoroughly mixed with the ground before the seed is sown. Cultivate the ground 
thoroughly as early in the spring as possible. Sow in rows 14 inches apart, setting the drill so seed 
will be one-half {nch deep. Cultivate with wheel hoe as soon as rows can be seen which should be 
followed in a few days with a second hoeing, after which weeding should be carefully done. 
As soon as ripe the bulbs should be gathered into rows and the tops cut off when dry. Do not 
store in large piles. Store in crates allowing air circulation or spread in dry place. 
GOLDEN GLOBE (Golden Marvel or Bottle Neck) 
Bulbs medium large, bottle neck globe, skin dark golden, flesh firm and better 
keeper than Ebenezer. Most desirable for growing globe-shaped sets of 
excellent keeping qualities. Such sets when planted out the next year produce 
oblong-globe deep golden yellow bulbs for the early market. 
GUNSON’S EXTRA EARLY YELLOW (See Photo Page 33) 
Remarkable for its vigor and productiveness. Will ripen down at least two 
weeks earlier than the earliest strains of Yellow Globe Danvers. Bulbs are 
semi-globe in shape, flesh white, skin deep auburn. Recommended for sections 
where blight is prevalent and an early maturing onion is desirable. Our cus- 
tomers who have grown it are enthusiastic in their praise. 

I procured twelve bushels of Certified Canadian Beaver oats from your salesman 
last spring. It’s just a wonderful crop, in fact it’s the best oats for miles around.
