PARSNIP. 



HENDERSON'S 

 HOLLOW CROWN 



This is a highly improved type, producing uniformly large and 

 handsome roots of stocky form, heavy at the shoulder, well rounded, 

 gradually tapering to the base, so that they are easily dug, and if 

 grown in properly pulverized soil, the roots will be smooth and free 

 from wrinkles and side roots. The flesh is white, of fine texture 

 free from core and stringiness, and especially fine-flavored, cook- 

 ing tender, sweet and rich, rendering it one of the finest of 

 table vegetables for winter use. The roots may remain in the 

 ground all winter, being hardy, or some may be dug late in the 

 fall and stored in sand or soil, so that they can be gotten at 

 easily when the ground is frozen. Frost improves their qual- 

 ity. This parsnip is the heaviest cropper of all and we recom- 

 mend it for both garden and field culture. (See cut.) Price, 

 5c. pkt., 10c. oz., 20c. M lb-. 60c. lb. 



" Your Parsnip, ' Hollow Crown,' is the finest I ever saw; large, solid, and cooks 

 tender and delicious." W. E. BRADLEY, Atchison, Kan. 



CHINESE GIANT PEPPER. 



This monstrous fruiting variety averages 12 to 15 inches 

 in circumference, and, notwithstanding its immense size, it is 

 very early and prolific; the stocky, well-branched plants, 

 about 2 feet high, carry so many peppers that in places the}' 

 seem bunched together. The flesh is thick, tender, mild, 

 sweet, and unexcelled when sliced as salad, or for stuffing for 

 "mangoes." When ripe the surface is of a brilliant glossy 

 scarlet. (See cut.) Price, 15c. pkt., 65c. oz., $1.75 14 lb. 



"My Chinese Giant Peppers took the prize at the fair this fall." 



MRS. H. F. REESE, 1007 Dallas St., Selma, Ala. 



RUBY KING PEPPER. 



One of the most popular large-fruiting Peppers ; a prolific 

 bearer of extra large ruby-red pods, 5 to 6 inches long by 3 

 to 4 inches in diameter ; flesh exceedingly thick, sweet and 

 so mild that it is often eaten sliced as salad ; splendid for 

 stuffing, etc. Price, 10c. pkt., 35c. oz., $1.25 % lb., $4.50 lb. 



"I picked from your Ruby King four peppers that weighed just S l A pounds- 

 The largest one was 16 inches around and &Ys inches long, tipping the scales 

 at l l /i lbs. The plants are loaded. They are splendid for pickling." 



F. S. DOWNS, Milford, Ct. 



Henderson s Emerald Parsley. 



A DISTINCT and handsome variety of quick, robust growth 

 ** forming compact, ornamental plants, densely furnished with 

 strong-stemmed graceful leaves, finely cut, most beautifully curled, 

 and of that brilliant emerald-green color so highly attractive 

 when used for garnishing. The flavor of the leaves is also un- 

 usually rich and aromatic, rendering this variety of special value 

 where used for flavoring, in sauces, dressing, etc. , either when fresh 

 or dried. (See cut.) Price, 10c. pkt., 15c. oz., 30c. }± lb., 90c. lb. 



"Your Emerald Parsley is the most beautiful of all varieties I have, seen or 

 tried to cultivate." MISS SALL1E THOMAS,
