PARSLEY.-Petersilhe. 



1 oz. to 150 feet of drill. 



Sow in rows one foot apart and one inch apart in the row. The 

 seed is slow to germinate and should be given the most favorable 

 conditions. A deep, rich, loamy soil is required. For winter use a few 

 plants placed in a box in the cellar will give a supply. 



Extra Dark 

 Moss Curled. 



— The large 

 leaves are very 

 heavily crimped 

 and curled, be- 

 ing quite moss- 

 like in appear- 

 ance and of a 

 peculiarly rich 

 extra dark green 

 coloring. Very productive and most attractive as a garnish 

 both on account of this green coloring and fine mossy ap- 

 pearance. Pkt., 5c; X lb. 15c; lb., 50c 



Fine Double Curled.— Plants of dwarf, compact growth, 

 and the young leaves have the edges heavily crimped, be- 

 ing of quite moss-like appearance. Pkt., 5c; X lb., 15c; 

 lb. 50c 



Extra Curled Dwarf, or Emerald. — The plants are of 

 dwarf, compact growth, while the leaves are of a handsome 

 bright green coloring, very finely crimped and curled, of a 

 most ornamental appearance. One of the finest for gar- 

 nishing or flavoring. Pkt.; 5c; X lb., 15c; lb., 50c 



Turnip-Rooted, or Hamburg. — The edible portion of this 

 variety is the large swollen or fleshy root which resembles 

 the root of a Parsnip, and is highly esteemed for flavoring 

 soups, stews, etc. As the root is the portion desired, the 

 voung plants should be well thinned out. Pkt., 5c; oz., 

 10c; X lb., 25c; lb., 75c 



PARSNIP.-Pashnake. 



Our seed is obtained from carefully selected and reselected purest 

 white and Hollow Crown roots and have accomplished in reality what 

 some other houses claim to have, but can prove it on paper only. To 

 this everyone of our customers will verify. 



1 oz. to 150 feet of drill. 



Sow as early in the spring as the weather will permit in drills 

 fifteen inches apart and half an inch deep; in rich, well-manured jrround, 

 well dug. Cultivate similar to Carrots, and thin out to six inches apart 

 in the rows. To keep well in the ground over winter, draw a little 

 earth over the tops. 



Hollow Crown, or Large Sugar. — 



The best variety in cultivation for 

 general use; roots white, smooth, 

 of intermediate length; sugary, of 

 excellent flavor. Pkt., 5c; X lb., 

 15c; lb 40c 



Improved Guernsey. — An improved 

 strain, which has given general satis- 

 faction. The roots do not grow so 

 long as those of the Hollow Crown, 

 but are of greater diameter and more 

 easily gathered. Of excellent quality. 

 Pkt., 5c,; X lb., 15c; lb., 40c 



Gentlemen : 



I have been sowing your Hollow Crown pars- 

 nip seed for many years, and exclusively for 

 the past 6 years, and always found them strictly 

 hollow crowned of a pure waxey white color, 

 very brittle and of very sweet flavor. Noonecan 

 induce me to use any other. Your seed is your 

 best advertisement and the market gardeners 

 know it.

 ruby red color. The plant
