LETTUCE — Favorte for 
_. Lettuce is a cool-season crop that must grow 
fast in order to be crisp and fresh when ready 
for the table. Sow seed as early as possible in 
rich soil, for there is no better crop than the 
first in the spring. Vigoro, the complete plant 
food, improves yield and flavor. 
Big Boston—Very distinct variety, grown large- 
ly in the South as a winter lettuce. Light 
green color and quite tender when well 
grown. Outside is a less distinctive heading 
sort, the plants bearing vigorously, growing 
to a good size and forming loose heads. 
New York—A favorite variety. Heads very 
large, heavy and compact. Has a vigorous 
root system, which enables it to stand hot 
weather better than other varieties. The in- 
terior is beautifully blanched, creamy white, 
crisp and tender, and free from any bitter- 
ness. 
Great Lakes—This variety won top place in the 
1943 All-America trials. This crisp head or 
Iceberg type is very attractive. It stands 
sun and heat, remarkably slow to throw 
a seed head, and is very resistant to tip-burn. 
Oakleaf—This novel variety excels in ability to 
withstand hot weather without turning bitter. 
Its leaves are small, tender and deep green, 
and in shape resembles an oak leaf. 
MUSTARD 
Mustard is grown for greens and requires a 
loamy, rich soil, preferably a sandy loam. It 
is sown either broadcast or in drills; if it is 
sown broadcast about 8 quarts of seed are re- 
quired per acre, if in drills, 3 pounds per acre. 
Florida Broad Leaf—Plants are rather tall and 
upright growing, and produce considerable 
more leaf growth than other varieties. The 
leaves are large, broad, comparatively smooth 
and have broad, distinct midribs. This va- 
riety is quite distinct in that it stays in con- 
dition without bolting to seed considerably 
longer than most other sorts. 
Mustard Spinach—Sometimes known as Tender 
Greens. This vegetable, which is all its 
name implies, is a very mild mustard with a 
creamy spinach flavor. Mustard Spinach 
grows fast. The leaves are ready for cut- 
ting three to four weeks after planting. Dry 
hot weather does not injure the crop. 
MUSTARD SPINACH 
compact 
Early Curled Simpson—Forms close, 
bunches of effectively curled leaves. 
NEW YORK 
Southern Giant Curled Mustard—Long Standing 
type. This is a decided improvement over 
the old curled mustard as it will stand ten 
to fourteen days later before bolting to seed.

OKRA or GUMBO 
Okra is regarded as a household necessity in 
the South, but is neither so well known nor 
so extensively used in the North. Seed should 
be sown when the weather has become settled, 
in drills 8 feet apart. Thin out the plants so 
they will stand from 1 to 2 feet apart in the 
rows, Gather the pods while they are young, 
as they become tough and woody when they 
grow older. One ounce will sow 100 feet of 
drill. 
White Velvet—-54 days. Tall-growing sort, 
with attractive long white pods, which are 
round and of velvety smoothness.

three feet high, strong, stocky plant, sending 
out many branches. Very productive. Leaves 
and pods are dark green. Pods are 5 to 7 
inches long, slender, corrugated and of ex- 
cellent quality.

days or two weeks earlier than the tall sorts.

inches of the ground and the whole plant is

less strain of Perkins Long Pod type. Plant

ored pods are unusually long, slender and 
smooth, retain their tenderness until 7 to 8 
inches long.
