HENDERSON'S po Pcnln 

 ollooi Crown^dl dllip. 



This is a highly improved type, 

 producing uniformly large and hand- 

 some 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 pul- 

 verized soil, the surface will be smooth and 

 unusually free from wrinkles and side 

 roots. The flesh is white, of fine texture, 

 free from core and stringiness, and especi- 

 ally fine-flavored; cooking 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 quality. This 

 parsnip is the heaviest cropper of all and 

 we recommend it for both garden and field 

 culture. (See cut.) Price, 5c. pkt., 10c. 

 oz., 20c. i lb., 55c. lb. 





^HENDERSON'S EMERALD PARSLEY. 



A distinct and handsome variety of quick, robust growth, 

 forming compact, ornamental plants, densely furnished with 

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

 and crimped and of that brilliant, deep emerald-green color so 

 highly attractive when used for garnishing. The flavor of the 

 leaves is also unusually rich and aromatic, rendering this va- 

 riety of especial value where used for flavoring, in sauces, dressing, 

 etc., either when fresh or dried. (See cut.) Price, 10c. pkt., 

 15c. oz., 30c. J lb., 90c. lb. 



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 they 

 seemed 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 var- 

 nished scarlet. (See cut.) Price, 10c. pkt., 60c. oz., $2.00 

 J lb., $6.50 lb. 



RUBY RING PEPPER. 



A popular, large-fruiting variety, very prolific and very 

 early. The "peppers" average 5 to 6 inches long by 9 to 10 

 inches in girth; color, glossv rubv-crimson when ripe; flesh, 

 thick, mild and sweet. Price, 10c. pkt., 30c. oz., $1.00 J lb., 

 $3.00 lb.
