SUPER-STANDARD 



Extra-selected strain from transplanted roots 



The stock we offer this year is the result of several years' selection. It 

 has been graded to an average length of about 8 inches. The roots are 

 smooth, pure white, and are extremely free from side rootlets. The pure 

 white luster of this Super-Standard strain is one of its most valuable assets. 

 Almost all commercial Parsnip seed is grown from roots which are not 

 transplanted, so that little or no selection is possible. By using our seed 

 you will at once notice a vast difference. The slight increase 

 in the cost of seed from transplanted roots is well worth it. 

 Try this strain once and you will be amazed at the results, 

 not only in the brilliant, uniform appearance, but in the 

 fine texture of the root itself. Be sure that your soil is 

 well prepared to a depth of 10 inches before planting. 

 Parsnips never have the right flavor until after the first 

 hard frost. Price, delivered: Pkt. 10 cts.; oz. 20 cts.; 

 y 4 lb. 45 cts.; lb. $1.50; 5 lbs. or more, $1.40 per lb. 



PARSLEY 



One-fourth ounce of seed plants 100 feet of 

 drill; 3 pounds plant an acre 



Champion Moss Curled 



Days to maturity, 60. The rich, dark green 

 and the very finely curled and cut leaves make 

 this a very excellent sort for garnishing. It is 

 best for this purpose when about 6 inches tall. 

 Our strain is highly recommended. Price, 

 delivered: Pkt. 10 cts.; oz. 15 cts.; y 4 lb. 35 cts.; 

 lb. $1; 5 lbs. or more, 90 cts. per lb. 



Hamburg Turnip-Rooted 



Days to maturity, 90. Both the root and the 

 leaves of this variety are used to advantage. The 

 root resembles the rooted parsnip in color and 

 shape, although usually not as heavy. It may be 

 stored for winter use. The leaves are very similar 

 to plain Parsley and are especially desirable for 

 flavoring. For this purpose they are much 

 more desirable than the 

 curled types. Price, de- 

 livered: Pkt. 10 cts.; oz. 

 20 cts.; V 4 lb. 40 cts.; lb. 

 $1.25; 5 lbs. or more, 

 $1.15 per lb.
