VEGETABLE SEED SPECIALTIES 



HENDERSON'S 

 OLLOW CROWN 



PARSNIP. 



This is a highly improved type, producing uniformly large and 

 handsome roots of stock} 7 form, heavy at the shoulder, well rounded, 

 gradualty tapering to the base, so that they are easily dug, and if 

 grown in properly pulverized soil, the roots will be smooth and free 

 from wrinkles and side roots. The flesh is white, of fine texture, 

 free from core and stringiness, and especially fine-flavored, cook- 

 ing 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 hard} 7 , 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 qual- 

 ity. This parsnip is the heaviest cropper of all and we recom- 

 mend it for both garden and field culture. (See cut.) Price, 

 5c. pkt., 10c. oz., 20c. I lb., 60c. lb. 



"Your Parsnip, 'Hollow Crown,' is the finest I ever saw; large, solid , and cooks 

 tender and delicious." W. E. BRADLEY, Atchison, Kan. 



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 thev 

 seem 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 glossy 

 scarlet. (See cut.) Price, 15c. pkt., 75c. oz., $2.50 j lb. 



"My Chinese Giant Peppers loo'; the prize at the fair this fall."
