One of the Largest Sweet Peppers 



Peppers are very large, 4 to 5 in. or more across and fully as long, 

 almost square and blunt at the end. They present a most attractive 

 appearance either while young when they are rich dark green, or 

 when fully matured when their glossy skin is a beautiful deep red 

 color. Flesh is moderately thick, mild and sweet. Plants make a 

 strong, erect, stocky, bush-like growth. IJ^ ft. tall and 2 ft. across. 

 An ideal home-garden Pepper.

Hot Peppers 



Hot Peppers are used chiefly in relishes, pickles and condiments, some 

 for drying and canning while other? are dried and ground. Some are 

 large, some are small and usually the smaller the fruit, the hotter it is. 

 Peppers may be strung on thread or the whole plant hung up to dry 

 for winter use. Culture is the same as for Sweet Peppers (see opposite 

 page). 



Always needed for garnishing and flavoring; may be used green, or dried crisp, powdered 

 and bottled. Easy to grow, takes but little space. May be potted up for use when green 

 during the winter. Parsley seed is slow to germinate. 



Culture: Sow seed as early in the spring as the soil can be worked; space rows 12 to 18 

 in. apart, and after covering seed with no more than ^4 in. of fine soil, gently but firmly 

 press it down. Thin seedlings to stand 6 to 8 in. apart in the row. A packet will sow about 

 20 ft. of row; an oz. about 150 ft.; 5 lbs. to the acre.

475 Hamburg or Parsnip-Rooted (90 days) 



Also known as German Parsley. Has plain leaves which can be used as ordinary Parsley

 or used for flavoring soups and stews. They have a very pleasing flavor somewhat like 

 Celeriac. We offer an improved strain which has nice, smooth roots 5 to 6 in. long; flesh 

 is white. Roots may be stored in sand for use during the wintei.

 2J^ ft. apart and cover only M in. deep. Thin seedlings to stand 4 to 6 in. apart in the row. 

 A packet will sow about 40 ft. of row; an ounce about 200 ft.; 4 to S lbs. per acre in drills

 winter for use early next spring. 



477 Maule*s White Lisbon (100 days) •it 



A highly improved type producing uniformly large and handsome snow-white roots of 

 stocky form. They are heavy at the shoulder, well rounded, and gradually taper toward 

 the base and, therefore, are very easily dug. The white sweet flesh is of fine texture, free 

 from core and stringiness. They cook tender, and have a fine rich flavor. Enormously pro- 

 ductive and exceptionally smooth. An excellent winter keeper.

Roots are smooth, snow-white, and have practically no side roots. They are uniform and 

 of good shape; grow to a good length, but not too long. Their whiteness is quite remarkable 

 and gives the roots a very attractive appearance. This is by far the best strain of Parsnip 

 for the home garden and market; a good basket filler that is easy to harvest.

Peanuts 



Culture: Peanuts grow best in a 

 warm, light or sandy soil, rich in 

 lime. Do not plant until ground is 

 thoroughly warm. Plant in rows 

 234 to 3 ft. apart; shelled nuts to 

 be placed 8 to 10 in. apart in the 

 rows, but if planted in the hulls, 

 space them 16 to 18 in. apart in 

 the row. Cover with 2 in. of soil. 

 Cultivate and hoe freely. In the 

 fall, before frost, dig and hang 

 them under a shed or in an airy 

 room to cure. A packet will sow 

 from 15 to 25 ft. of row; a pound 

 from 100 to 200 ft. Use 35 to 40 

 lbs. of seed per acre.
