CURRIE’S EARLY MARKET —tThis variety is very 
early, fully a month earlier than Guernsey and only 
half as large. The quality of this is excellent and is 
free from strings. The flavor is more delicate than 
the other varieties and will appeal to many people 
who ordinarily do not care for parsnips. 1 o0z., 15c;

PARSLEY 
After soaking the seed for a few hours in warm 
water, it should be sown in rows 18 inches apart and 
when 2 inches high thinned out so the plants will 
stand 4 inches apart in the row. It takes parsley seed 
from 3-6 weeks ordinarily to germinate, so that a 
little patience in growing this is necessary. 
Currie’s Extra Double Curled 
Your seeds and plants are such fine quality 
that I hate to risk purchasing elsewhere.
