 tion for 2,000 years. 



German, Petersilie; Italian, Prezzemolo; Polish, Pietruszka 



One-fourth ounce of seed plants 100 feet of drill; 3 pounds plant an acre 



Days to maturity, 65. 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 about 8 inches. 1 he 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 flavor- 

 ing, we do not recommend them for this purpose as highly 

 as Hamburg Turnip-Rooted. For all general purposes, 

 however. Champion Moss Curled and Emerald are, 

 perhaps, the leading varieties. Price, pkt. 10 cts., 

 oz. 20 cts., 141b. 40 cts., lb. $1.25, 5 lbs. $5.50, delivered. 



Hamburg Turnip-Rooted. ?o!*' ^^^^^3 



variety originated in Northern 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, ard 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 Ham- 

 burg is a very valuable sort. Price, pkt. 10 cts., oz.

U 11 « Days to maturity, 130. A variety in very general use for table purposes or for stock 



nOllOW-V^rOWn. ^^^^^ ^he root will attain a length of from 8 to 10 inches. The color is pure white, 

 uniformly smooth, and of excellent quality. For the best results, care should be taken in the preparation 



of the soil, so that it may be loosened to 

 a depth of about 10 inches. The quality 

 of the roots is improved by leaving them 

 in the ground over winter for spring use.
