858 Big Tom 



856 Golden Cushaw 



The Golden Cushaw Pumpkin has a bright golden yellow sur- 

 face and very solid, tender, fine-grained flesh of excellent flavor. 

 Much in favor for pies. Averages 2 feet in length and varies 

 somewhat in shape. The seed-cavitv is small for so large a 

 Pumpkin. Pkt. 5 cts., oz. 15 cts., V^lh. 45 cts., lb. $1.50. 



853 Small Sugar 



Famous throughout the New England states as a pie Purnpkin. 

 Small as Pumpkins go, but having very fine-grained, deliciously 

 sweet-flavored flesh. Splendid keeper. Average 10 inches in 

 diameter; deep orange-yellow color. Pkt. 5 cts., oz. 10 cts., 

 Vilh. 30 cts., lb. $1. 



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 diameter. It is round-oval in shape and the skin is a 

 reddish orange in color, slightly ribbed. The flesh is a rich orange- 

 yeUow, very solid and fine-grained. It is a very profitable sort for 

 commercial purposes. Pkt. 5 cts., oz. 10 cts., V^lb. 30 cts., lb. $1. 



860 



Large Sweet Cheese (Kentucky Field) 



A variety particularly adapted to southern planting but not 

 recommended for latitudes north of New Jersey. The fruits 

 are large, round and flattened in shape, having a cream-colored 

 surface mottled with green until fully ripe. The flesh is yellow, 

 tender and of superb quality. Large Sweet Cheese is an excel- 

 lent keeper. Pkt. 5 cts., oz.'lO cts., Vilb. 30 cts., lb. $1. 



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 

 qualitv for pies but not, however, considered quite so satisfactory as 

 the Standard Pie. Pkt. 5 cts., oz. 15 cts., l/^lb. 45 cts., lb. $1.50. 



850 Standard Pie, or 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 Pump- 

 kins 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. 5 cts., oz. 15 cts., Vilh. 45 cts., lb. $1.50. 



725 PARSNIP, Hollow Crown (Guernsey) 



The seed of our 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. 15 cts., V^lb. 50 cts., lb. $1.50, 10 lbs. $10. 



PARSLEY 



700 Champion Moss Curled 



One ounce will sow 150 feet of row; 

 3 pounds wiU sow an acre 



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 

 business have shown to be the most reliable. The Stokes' strain 

 is now looked upon by gardeners in many diff^erent sections as 

 being the very best it is possible to obtain. It is a vigorous, com- 

 pact-growing variety, excellent for garnishing and flavoring. The 

 leaves are finely cut and so closely curled that thej* 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. 5 cts., oz. 15 cts., V4lb. 50 cts., lb. $1.50, 10 lbs. $10. 



704 



Plain 



Very hardy variety the plain (not curled) leaves being exten- 

 sively used in soups and stews. Of stronger flavor than most 

 varieties. Pkt. 5 cts., oz. 15 cts., Vilb. 50 cts., lb. $1.50, 10 lbs. $10. 



710 Hamburg Long-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 anyone 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 garnishing Parsley as Market- 

 Gardeners' Best. Pkt. 5 cts., oz. 15 cts., V4lb. 50 cts., lb. $1.50, 

 10 lbs. $10. 



706 Emerald 



This variety is distinctive in color, its bright emerald-green 

 leaves proving unusually effective for garnishing. Aromatic in 

 odor and flavor, the handsome, beautifully curled leaves being 

 abundantly produced on the robust plants. A compact and ex- 

 tremely graceful plant — a decorative part of the border. Pkt. 

 5 cts., oz. 15 cts., V4lb. 50 cts., lb. $1.50, 10 lbs. $10.
