TEGETABLES FOR THE GARDEN 



ONION 



Yellow Danvers. — An old, reliable variety; early and produc- 

 tive. Medium size, round, firm, fine grained. Quality excel- 

 lent. Skin straw color; flesh white. A good keeper. Highly 

 recommended. 



PARSNIP 



Hollow Crown. — The standard variety. Long, white, smooth, 

 and excellent quality. 



PEAS (EAKLY) 



Gradus or Prosperity . — An early wrinkled, large-podded pea 



of excellent quality, ma- 

 turing from 4 to 8 days 

 later than the Alaska. 

 Vines 2 to 3 feet high, 

 pods dark green, large, 

 long, and flat, containing 

 5 to 7 large peas. It has 

 not been extremely pro- 

 lific with us, but owing to 

 the large size of the pods 

 can be picked more rap- 

 idly and yields about the 

 same by measure as the 

 early round or flint varie- 

 ties. Recommended for 

 its size and quality, also fine appearance in the market as com- 

 pared with other early varieties ripening with or a few days 

 ahead of it.

 ly, wrinkled pea, ripen- 

 ing with the early flint 

 varieties. Vines 2j ft.; 

 pods 3 to 3| in. long, 

 containing 6 to 8 peas. 

 Very prolific; quality 

 good. Highly recom- 

 mended for home or 

 market use.
