PARSLEY 



Good Parsley has always been a 

 matter of extreme importance to us, 

 and we believe this year's stock will 

 be no exception. The effects of the 

 war should not be serious with this 

 particular seed, as a considerable 

 portion of it is English-grown, and 

 our grower informs us that the usual 

 deliveries will be made, and that our 

 customers need not fear that the 

 stock will be inferior. Philadelphia 

 market-gardeners have come to look 

 upon our strains of Parsley as being 

 particularly true to type, and when 

 a seedsman has honor in his own 

 country it is a sure sign.

Culture. — Soak the seeds a few 

 hours in lukewarm water, and sow, when they swell slightly, in rows 1 foot apart, thinning the plants to 4 inches 

 apart in the row. For winter use transplant to a light cellar or coldframe. 



One ounce will sow 150 feet of row, three pounds will sow an acre 



700 S. S. Market-Gardeners' Best 



The best Moss-curled Parsley in existence, the seed being all imported and from sources which years of ex- 

 perience in the seed business have shown to be the most reliable. The Stokes' strain is now looked upon by gar- 

 deners 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 for the home table we know of no other that will equal S. S. Market-Gardeners' Best. Pkt. 5 cts., oz. 

 15 cts., y 4 lb. 50 cts., lb. $1.50. 



710 Hamburg Turnip-Rooted 



This variety cannot be used for garnishing as can the one described above. 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 planting it in the small garden will be highly pleased with the result. Bear in 

 mind, however, that it is not the finelv cut garnishing Parsley such as S. S. Market-Gardeners' Best. Pkt. 5 cts., 

 oz. 15 cts., y 4 lb. 50 cts., lb. $1.50. 



PARSNIP 



Culture. — Sow the seed when the ground is warm, in drills 18 inches apart, thinning to 6 to 8 inches apart 

 in the row. All root-crops require the ground to be spaded deeply. 



One ounce will sow 200 feet of drill; five pounds will sow an acre 



725 S. Hollow Crown 



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 inches if finest-shaped roots are expected. 

 Pkt. 5 cts., oz. 10 cts., y 4 lb. 25 cts., lb. 75 cts.
