ARGENTEUIL.— 



\'ery popular. Stalks 

 of large size, attrac- 

 tive, rich and tender. 

 Free from rust or 

 blight and escapes 

 the ravages of slugs 

 better than do most 

 varieties. Of strong 

 growth and attains 

 cutting size at an 

 early age. 



PALM E TT O.— 



The large size of 

 stalk, early maturity, 

 heavy yield and free-

PURPLE GIANT.— A remarkably strong 

 growing and a \evy valuable variety. It has 

 such vigor, it gives shoots large enough for 

 cutting in one year from planting, if planted 

 in fertile soil. The two year old roots are as 

 large as three year old roots of any other va- 

 riety. The shoots are of a decidedly purple 

 color and are produced in great numbers from 

 early until late in the season. It is so valu- 

 able' in every way, the indications are, it will 

 be planted to the exclusion of all other kinds 

 as soon as it becomes well known.

 many for soups and 

 for seasoning. This 

 hardy perennial be- 

 longs to the onion 

 family, is perfectly 

 hardy and succeeds 

 almost without cul- 

 ture. The tops of 

 grasslike leaves ap- 

 pear in early spring 

 and can be safely 

 cut close to the 

 ground many times in a season.

 in a sunny window during winter. Clumps,

 viridis). — The plant which produces the mint 

 of the markets and largely used for culinary 

 purposes. 



PEPPERMINT (M. piperita).— From the 

 leaves of this is distilled the well-known pep- 

 permint of commerce. The green leaves and 

 stems, when chewed and swallowed, have the 

 same effect as the essential oil, and to most 

 persons the flavor is very pleasant.
