PARSLEY 



700 Market-Gardeners' Best 



The best moss-curled Parsley in existence, the seed being all imported and from sources which 

 years of experience in the seed business have shown to be the most reliable. The Stokes' strain is 

 now looked upon by gardeners in many different sections as being the very best it is possible to 

 obtain. It is a vigorous, compact-growing variety, excellent for garnishing and flavoring. The 

 leaves are finely cut and so closely curled that they resemble bunches of moss. The color is a uni- 

 form dark green, and very careful work has been done in selecting out any single or plain-leaf 

 "rogues." It is very hardy, and withstands drought and cold. As a garnishing and flavoring 

 Parsley it has no equal. Pkt. 5 cts., oz. 15 cts., l A\h. 50 cts., lb. $2. 



710 Hamburg Turnip-Rooted 



This variety cannot be used for garnishing as can the one described before. The root is the 

 edible portion and resembles a small parsnip both in color and shape. The flesh is white and in 

 flavor similar to celeriac. The foliage is similar to plain Parsley. The roots can be dug late in the 

 fall and buried in sand for winter use. It is very desirable for flavoring soups, etc. Our strain of 

 Hamburg Turnip-rooted is in high favor among our market-garden customers, and anyone plant- 

 ing it in the small garden will be highly pleased with the result. Bear in mind, however, that it is 

 not such a finely cut garnishing Parsley as Market-Gardeners' Best. Pkt. 5 cts., oz. 15 cts., 

 V 4 lb. 50 cts., lb. $2. 



PARSNIP 



725 Hollow Crown 



The seed of our Hollow Crown is such that we can recommend it highly as being the very best 

 imported, which will produce very even roots from one end of a row to the other, for it has been 

 carefully selected for size and shape. In all such crops as Parsnips, carrot and the Hamburg pars- 

 ley, etc., great care should be exercised to have the ground loosened up to the depth of at least 18 

 inches if finest-shaped roots are expected. Pkt. 5 cts., oz. 20 cts., V4U>. 75 cts., lb. $2.50. 



PEPPER 



For Southern planting only. Orders accepted against new crops, delivery of which is 

 anticipated for September 1 



830 S. S. Ruby Giant 



This choice "Standard" Pepper grows to a very large size, averaging 4 to 4 3^2 inches long, by 

 3 Yi to 4 inches wide at the thick end. The fruits are quite early, very handsome in shape, sometimes 

 growing fully as large as the Chinese Giant, but of a very much better shape. It is a cross between 

 the Chinese Giant and the Ruby King, hence its name. The flesh is mild and sweet and beautiful 

 deep green when young, brilliant red when ripened. Pkt. 5 cts., oz. 35 cts., l A\h. $1.25, lb. $5. 



832 Chinese Giant 



This is the Jumbo of the Pepper family. Our strain of Chinese Giant has been very carefully 

 selected for a series of years, and will grow smooth and handsome, usually divided into four lobes, 

 indented at the blossom end. The flesh is thick and mild and a beautiful dark green. It is the 

 latest of all Peppers in maturing. Pkt. 10 cts., oz. 60 cts., V 4 lb. $2, lb. $7. 



834 Ruby King 



This is the most popular Pepper of its class, being a much more desirable sort than the Bell, or 

 Bull Nose. The plants grow about 2 feet high, and bear a fine crop of handsome scarlet fruits. 

 These grow 3 to 6 inches in length, about 3 inches through. The flesh is quite thick, sweet and so 

 mild that the Peppers may be eaten from the hand like an apple. It is especially fine for mangoes. 

 Pkt. 5 cts., oz. 35 cts., V 4 Ib. $1.25, lb. $5. 



835 Neapolitan 



This is the earliest of the large, mild red Peppers and the most productive of all. From seed 

 started in February, plants set out the latter part of May, the fruit may be picked the latter part 

 of June. The skin and flesh are bright red, of fine flavor, sweet, very mild and tender. They carry 

 well and keep in prime condition a long time. For market-gardeners and pickling establishments, 

 the Neapolitan is particularly recommended. Pkt. 5 cts., oz. 35 cts., l A\h. $1.25, lb. $5.
