 Mountain Triple Parsley. 



Petersilie. 



A TABLE ADORNER OF RARE BEAUTY. 



221. Never before have we been able to offer to the public a gift of Nature 

 equal to our Beautiful Green Mountain Parsley. Discovered as a gem in the 

 heart of the Green Mountains, we were able to persuade the sole owner of this 

 unequaled stock to sell us sufficient seed to grow a few plants. Always alert, 

 always ready to appreciate any seed of exceptional merit, we soon saw that 

 everybody would want our new Green Mountain Parsley when they heard of its 

 wonderful beauty. Hardy, immensely productive, deep velvet green. The 

 leaves are densely curled and are borne in abundance. It is exceptionally easy 

 to grow, and with very little care everybody can have for the whole year round 

 a bed of the finest flavored Parsley in cultivation. If you have but a few square 

 feet, you can raise sufficient Parsley to supply your table with decorations, and 

 your soups with fine, fresh flavor. If you grow for your market stall, you cannot 

 afford to have poor Parsley, when your neighbor has the beautiful Green Moun- 

 tain Triple Parsley. If you are a shipper to Northern markets, you grow Green 

 Mountain Parsley and you will make more money than you ever did. PKt. 10c.

Bolgiano's Hollow Hub Parsnip. 



219. Hollow Crown to a remarkable degree, this new, excellent, fine 

 flavored Parsnip is destined to take the leading place among Parsnips. 

 Having made the most careful and exhaustive trials, we recommend the 

 Hollow Hub Parsnips to excel in every respect. Absence of core, flesh firm 

 and tender, delicious, delicate flavor, uniformly Hollow Crown, smooth, even 

 growth, all make up the merits of the Hollow Hub Parsnip. Grow the best; 

 it pays. PKt. 5c. Oz. 10c. 2 Ozs. 15c. 1/4 Lb. 25c. 1/2 Lb. 40c. Lb. 75c. 



Bolgiano's Hollow Crown Sugar Parsnip. 



220. By rigid comparison, we have found our stock to be the most per- 

 fect stock offered for sale by anyone. It is an ideal stock, a great and won- 

 derful improvement over the ordinary stocks sold; it is fine-grained, true 

 hollow crown. Roots do not grow as long as the old hollow crown variety; 

 have thick shoulders, taper beautifully and symmetrically to a single tap 

 loot. Are easily gathered, heavy croppers; roots run uniformly smooth, 

 with fine-grained flesh and good quality. Our Improved Private Stock is
