PUMPKINS 



One pound will plant 200 to 300 hills ; 

 4 to 6 pounds will plant an acre 



850 Standard Pie (Winter Luxury) 



The very best-quality Pumpkin for pie purposes that we know of. The flesh is tender and has all the qualities which go toward making a 

 good variety for that purpose. The color is a beautiful, light golden yellow, finely netted on the outside. These Pumpkins will average from 12 

 to 14 inches in diameter and about 8 to 10 inches from top to bottom. They will grow comparatively uniform in size and shape, making a 

 beautiful sight in the field. This variety is recommended for either large or small plantings. Pkt. 5c., oz. 10c. , V^lh. 25c., lb. 75c., postpaid. 



852 King of the Mammoths 



They will very often grow from 2 to 3 feet in diameter, with a weight 

 of nearly 200 pounds. They are rounded in shape and flat at the top 

 and bottom. The skin is a light salmon-orange, very thick, and the 

 flesh is a bright yellow which is fine-grained and very good quality for 

 pies but not, however, considered quite so satisfactory as the Stan- 

 dard Pie. Pkt. 5 cts., oz. 10 cts., %lh. 40 cts., lb. $1.35, postpaid. 



858 Big Tom 



Strictly a canning variety and not one which is advised for home 

 consumption, as its quality is not tender. It is a strong, vigorous 

 grower and very prolific, the fruits averaging 15 to 20 inches in diame- 

 ter. It is round-oval in shape and the skin is a reddish orange in color, 

 slightly ribbed. The flesh is a rich orange-yellow, very solid and iine- 

 srained. It is a very profitable sort for commercial purposes. Pkt. 

 5 cts., oz. 10 cts., V4lb. 20 cts., lb. 50 cts., postpaid. 



854 Cushaw, or Crookneck 



A standard variety of Pumpkin, having a bright, shiny yellow 

 surface. The flesh is very solid, tender, fine-grained and of superb 

 flavor. It has a very small interior cavity. The Cushaw will average 

 about 2 feet in length and will vary somewhat in shape. The flesh 

 is very sweet and is excellent for pies. Pkt. 5 cts., oz. 10 cts., V^Ib. 

 25 cts., lb. SO cts., postpaid. 



860 



Large Sweet Cheese 



A variety particularly adapted to southern planting, but not rec- 

 ommended for latitudes north of New Jersey. The fruits are large, 

 round and flattened in shape, having a cream-colored surface mot- 

 tled with green until fully ripe. The flesh is yellow, tender and of 

 superb quality. Large Sweet Cheese is an excellent keeper. Pkt. 

 5 cts., oz. 10 cts., Vilb. 20 cts., lb. 60 cts., postpaid. 



S. S. Market-Gardeners' Best Parsley 



PARSLEY 



700 S. S. Market-Gardeners' Best 



The best Moss-curled Parsley in existence, the seed being all im- 

 ported and from sources which years of experience in the seed busi- 

 ness 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 uniform 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. Sc., oz. 10c. , Vilb. 40c., lb. $1.25, postpaid. 



One ounce will sow 150 feet of row; 

 3 pounds will sow an acre 



I 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 any- 

 one planting it in the small garden will be highly pleased with the 

 result. Bear in mind, however, that it is not such a finely cut garnish- 

 ing Parsley as S. S. Market-Gardeners' Best. Pkt. 5 cts., oz. 10 

 cts., V4lb. 40 cts., lb. $1.25, postpaid. 



725 S. S. Hollow Crown PARSNIP 



The seed of our S. S. 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 Parsnip, carrot and 

 the Hamburg parsley, etc., great care should be exercised to have the ground loosened up to the depth of at least 18 mches if finest-shaped 

 roots are expected. Pkt. 5 cts., oz. 10 cts., V4lb. 20 cts., lb. 50 cts., postpaid.
