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.

localities because of its white, smooth appearance.

Crown, and exceptionally free from side roots.

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 shai>ely, heavy-shouldered strain with its great- 
est 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.
