PARSLEY 



PARSNIP 



CULTURE — The germination of Parsley seed is very slow, 

 taking about three to four weeks. Sow seed in ro7vs one foot 

 apart, covering seed one-half inch. Thin out the plants to stand 

 two inches apart. 



653 EMERALD (Henderson's) 



A distinct variety of robust growth, freely furnished with 

 short-stemmed leaves, very finely cut and most beauti- 

 fully curled, making a compact and extremely graceful 

 plant. Most varieties of parsley are dark green; but, as 

 its name implies. Emerald is brilliant emerald-green in 

 color and therefore more highly esteemed for decorative 

 and garnishing purposes. (See illustration.) 

 Price, pkt., 10c; oz., 25c; l A lb., 60c; lb., $1.75. 



655 EXTRA DOUBLE CURLED 



A popular, fine dwarf, beautifullv curled sort. 



Price, pkt., 10c; oz., 20c; i{ lb., 50c; lb., $1.50. 



660 PEERLESS 



A new variety, with all the good qualities of the moss 

 curled type, but is hardier, darker in color, densely 

 curled and holds its dark green color well into the late 

 fall, when other varieties have turned yellow. A most 

 desirable sort for garnishing and decorating. 

 Price, pkt., 15c; oz., 30c; % lb., 90c; lb., $2.50. 



659 HAMBURG or Turnip Rooted 



The fleshy roots of this kind resemble small Parsnips. 

 Used for flavoring soups, stews, etc. (See Illustration.)

The leaves are not curled; plant very hardy. 

 Price, pkt., 10c; oz., 25c; M lb., 60c; lb. ,"$1.50. 



CULTURE — Sow seed in rows two feel apart as soon 

 as ground is in condition in spring, cover seed one-half 



inch. 



667 HOLLOW CROWN 

 (Henderson's) 



Our selection of this highly esteemed variety is 

 surely the best for the private garden. We have 

 discarded the types with slim, long roots that 

 invariably break in digging and offer only a 

 shapely, heavy-shouldered strain with its greatest 

 ' girth at the crown and gradually tapering to a 

 small root. 



For winter use lay the roots horizontally in small 

 boxes packed with ordinary garden soil and store them in 

 some convenient place outdoors, away from snow or rain. 

 Frost improves their quality. (See illustration.)
