A Favorite WH ITE 
Home and Market Sort 
This grand parsnip, from 
Portugal, has proven to 
be a striking and attrac- 
tive novelty. Grown ex- 
tensively by our market 
gardener friends, to their 
great satisfaction. The 
shape is well shown in 
illustration (one-half nat- 
ural size). It is remark- 
ably free from side roots; 
in fact, in this respect is SS 
about the cleanest of all $= 
parsnips. It is fine grained SS 
and of superior flavor, and = 
if it had not been named == 
White Lisbon might well 
be called an Improved 
Hollow Crown. Its hand- 
some appearance would 
attract attention any- 
where, and we are very 
sure it will give the best 
.| of satisfaction to all our 
customers who try it.

4s2 Early Short Round 
A turnip shaped early parsnip, growing very 
quickly. Its pure white flesh is firm and tender, 
mild and pleasant. On account of its size and shape 
with short foliage it requires considerable less room 
in the garden, therefore yields larger crops than the 
other sorts. Early Short Round is suitable for sow- 
ing on hard and shallow soils. For shape see en- 
graving. Packet, 5 cents; ounce, 10 cents; 
pound, 25 cents; pound, 75 cents, postpaid.
