PARSLEY 



STOKES SEEDS 



/ PETROSELINUM \ 

 \ HORTENSE ) 



Origin — Apf)arently a native of the Island of Sardinia, Pliny, however, stales that the Sardinian Parsley was of a venomous 

 quality. However. M. de Candolle considered it to be wild in the Mediterranean region From time immemorial it has been 

 served at funeral feasts. Parsley was introduced into England in 1542, the second year of the reign of Edward Sixth. Gerard 

 speaks of it as being "delightful to the taste and agreeable to the stomacke." 



No. 49—CHAMPION MOSS CURLED 



Days to maturity, 55-60. Known in this country at least from the time of Minton Collins in 1793 

 as Curled Parsley. The other prefixes have apparently^ been added during the last thirty or forty years. 

 This variety grows to a height of alx>ut eight inches. The color is a rich dark green and the leaves are 

 very finely cut. The compact curled leaves are excellent for garnishing, and, although sometimes used 

 for flavoring, we do not recommend them for this pur[X)se as highly as either Hamburg Turnip Rooted 

 or Plain. For all general purposes, however, Champion Moss Curled is, ^>erhaps, the leading variety. 

 Price, delivered: oz., 10c; Vi lb., 25c; V2 lb., 4«c; lb., 75c; 5 lbs., @ 72c per lb.; 10 lbs., @ 70c per lb.;

No. SO— HAMBURG 

 TURNIP ROOTED 



Days to maturity, 80-90. No doubt this 

 variety originated in Notthern Europe. It has 

 been grown in this country for about one hundred 

 years, Sinclair and Moore having offered it in 

 1826. The root is the edible part of this variety 

 resembling in color and shape the root of the 

 parsnip. The leaves are very similar to those 

 of plain parsley, and are especially desirable for flavoring and drying. The roots 

 may be stored for Winter use very profitably. This is not a garnishing variety, 

 but for the purposes desired Hamburg is a verj' valuable sort. Price, delivered : 

 oz., 10c; 1/4 lb., 25c; V2 lb., 40c; lb., 75c; 5 lbs., @ 72c per lb.; 10 lbs., @ 

 70c per lb. ; 50 lbs., @ 65c per lb.
