LEEK 
CULTURE. This mild member of 
the onion family is used in soups 
and salads. Sow one ounce to one 
hundred feet of row and four or 
five pounds to the acre, one-half 
inch deep, as early as the soil can 
be worked in spring. Thin the 
plants to a stand of four to six 
inches in twelve to eighteen-inch 
rows. It is advisable to throw earth 
to the plant to blanch it, very much 
as celery is blanched. 
LARGE AMERICAN FLAG 
Large, dark green leaves and me- 
dium large bulbs on a pure white 
stem 11% to 2 inches by 7 inches. 
Very hardy, productive. 
MUSTARD 
CULTURE. Mustard is grown for 
its seed which is used for flavoring 
or medicinal purposes or grown for 
its leaf which is used in salad or 
cooked like spinach. Sow mustard 
as soon as the soil can be worked 
in spring and every three weeks for 
a succession, or in the South it may 
be sown in the fall for early spring 
greens. Cover the seed lightly in 
twelve to eighteen inch drills. Cut 
the leaf when not over four inches 
high. Number of days given is from 
planting to cutting. 
FLORIDA BROAD LEAF (40 
Days) — Leaf very large, broad, 
long oval, with a smooth saw- 
toothed edge and broad white mid- 
rib; bright green in color. Makes 
a strong, quick growth, spreading 
out somewhat more than other 
smooth types. Holds well in hot 
weather. Seed dark brown in color. 
SOUTHERN GIANT CURLED 
(35 Days) — Leaf very wrinkled, 
blistered and curled at the edges; 
light yellowish-green in color. Very 
prolific. Holds -fairly well for 
spring planting but is mainly used 
in the south as a winter greens 
crop. 
MUSTARD-SPINACH OR TEN- 
DERGREEN (30 Days) — Rapid 
and vigorous growth with com- 
paratively narrow, spoon-shaped 
leaves of dark green. It will stand 
longer than most varieties without 
sending up seed stalks. Combines 
the flavor of mustard and spinach. 
OKRA 
CULTURE. The pods of this plant 
are used in a great number of ways 
throughout the Southern States, and 
the plant should be more frequently 
grown in the North. Plant at corn 
planting time in rich land, sowing 
the seed thickly in two to three- 
foot drills, and thinning to an eight 
to twelve-inch stand, according to 
varieties. A generous planting is 
two ounces to one hundred feet and 
ten pounds to the acre. Okra seed 
may be planted six seeds to the 
hill, two to three feet apart and 
thinning to two plants to the hill. 
CLEMSON SPINELESS (55 Days) 
— A very uniform spineless strain 
of Perkins’ long podded type. Pods 
rich green, about 7 inches. 
DWARF GREEN (52 Days) — An 
early dwarf growing sort with 
dark green, fluted, pointed pods 5 
to 7 inches long; quite prolific. 
ONION 
CULTURE. As goon as the soil 
can be worked in spring and not 
after May ist, sow onion seed in 12 
to 15 inch rows, leaving out every 
10th row as a weed alley, if pre- 
ferred. One ounce of seed plants 
150 feet and 4 to 5 pounds plants an 
acre. Seed should be covered firm- 
ly one-fourth inch deep. Quantities 
of manure had best be applied in 
the year before the planting and 
much commercial fertilizer, high in 
potash, harrowed in immediately 
before seeding. Begin cultivation 
as soon as the plant can be seen; 
cultivate frequently and when con- 
venient thin to a stand of two to 
four inches. 
YELLOW SWEET SPANISH — 
RIVERSIDE (105 Days)—A large, 
well shaped onion, weighing from 
1 to 8 pounds, unusually mild but 
still retaining its genuine onion 
flavor. Planted at the proper time 
and thoroughly cured it is a good 
keeper and will ship as well as 
any other shipping onion. To pro- 
duce larger size they should be 
thinned 6 to 8 inches between 
plants. 
YELLOW GLOBE, SOUTHPORT 
(116 Days) — A large, perfectly 
shaped globe onion and an excel- 
lent one for keeping throughout 
the winter. A very heavy cropper, 
a good dark yellow color and hand-

sively in the Bermudas and south- 
ern part of the United States for
