PARSLEY— Market Gardeners' Best. 



The best points yet obtained in parsley have 

 certainly been reached in this sort. The plant is 

 of ver}- robust and free growth, and is greath- im- 

 proved by severe cutting. The leaves are large 

 and beautifulh- curled and of a very dark green 

 huj, and verj- iiue for eitaer open ground or 

 frame culture. It stands heat, drought and cold 

 better than any other extra curled sort we ever 

 saw. This variety will yield double that of any 

 other sort and will be found invaluable for selling 

 in bunches or bunched with "pot-herbs." The 

 whole appearance of the plant is very handsome, 

 and it certainly is "the Parsley for the Market 

 Gardener." Oz., loc; }{ lb., 30c.; lb., ji.oo ; 2

 LDNG STAiyHHfE SPINACH 



This :is the only genuine loug standing spinach im- 

 ported into this eountrj-, and was introduced by ils seven 

 years ago. It is undoubtedly the spinach for spring sowing, 

 as it will stand fully fifteen days longer than any other before 

 ruuuing to seed. We have often seen it stand so long that 

 the leaves actually turned yellow before shooting to seed. 

 The leaves are round, large, unusually tWck, deeply curled 

 and of a fine dark-green color. Our slock is grown in Holland 

 especially for us. It is considered by many also the best for 

 fall sowing on account of its ability to stand the wiuter 

 better than any other sort. This variety is superior to the 

 ordinary Long Standing offered in many catalogues. Lb.,

AMERICAN-ROUND SEEDED SAVOY 



•»b BI-007VtSD7TLE • SPI NMC H. -tC- 



Oar Celebrated Philadelphia Stock. Our entire 

 stock of this ver>- superior variety is Pennsylvania grown, of 

 1S89 crop, and we guarantee it to possess every important 

 quality that makes this valuable sort so popular. The leaves 

 are large, thick, finely curled, heavy, are produced in great 

 numbers, and stand handling and transportation better than 

 any other sort. By far the best and most productive spinach 

 in cultivation. This is the ver.- best sort for early spring 

 cutting before the weather becomes warm. For late use, we 

 recommend market gardeners to plant our Enkhuizen 

 Long .Standing, owing to its slowness to "shoot" to .seed 

 during warm weather. Lb.. 20c : 10 lbs.. SI. 80 ■, bush.. ><;.00.
