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



to stand two inches apart. 



662 PARAMOUNT (New) 



This new parsley has everything to recommend it. 

 The plant is dwarf and compact, and can be used to 

 make an attractive border. The leaves are deeply curled 

 and an unusually rich shade of dark green, and most at- 

 tractive indeed for garnishing. The plants are robust, and 

 produce enormous quantities of leaves throughout the 

 season. Ready in 70 days. 



Price, pkt., 15c; oz., 35c; % lb., $1.00; lb., $2.75. 



653 EMERALD 



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. Season 70 days. 

 Price, pkt., 10c; oz., 25c; \i lb., 75c; lb., $2.25. 



655 EXTRA DOUBLE CURLED

of Successful Seed Service 



This newer variety is in great demand in many 

 localities because of its white, smooth appearance. 

 The roots are somewhat more slender than Hollow 

 Crown, and exceptionally free from side roots. 

 Readv in 100 days. 

 Price, pkt., 10c; oz., 35c; M lb., $1.00; lb., $2.50. 



667 HOLLOW CROWN 



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 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. Ready in 100 days.
