HENDERSON'S 



H8 l r l o°^n PARSNIP 



This is a highly improved type, 

 producing uniformly large and hand- 

 some roots of stocky form, heavy at 

 the shoulder, well rounded, gradually 

 tapering to the base, so that they are 

 easily dug, and if grown in properly 

 pulverized soil, the roots will be 

 smooth and free from wrinkles and 

 side roots. The flesh is white, of fine 

 texture, free from core and stringi- 

 ness, and especially fine-flavored, 

 cooking tender, sweet and rich, ren- 

 dering it one of the finest of table 

 vegetables for winter use. The roots 

 may remain in the ground all winter, 

 being hardy, or some may be dug 

 late in the fall and stored in sand or 

 soil, so that they can be gotten at 

 easily when the ground is frozen. 

 Frost improves their quality. This 

 parsnip is the heaviest cropper of all 

 and we recommend it for both gar- 

 den and field culture. Price, 5c. pkt., 

 10c. oz., 25c. i 4 lb., 75c. lb. 



" This may be tlte largest parsnip story you 

 ever heard, but it's true. I purchased seed of 

 your Hollow Crown last Spring and raised big 

 ones in majority; tlte largest weighed a trifle over 

 6 pounds with leaves all off. I will add that it 

 was solid and cooked up tender and delicious."

Henderson s Emerald Parsley. 



A distinct and handsome variety of quick, 

 robust growth forming compact, ornamental 

 plants, densely furnished with strong-stemmed 

 graceful leaves, finely cut, most beautifully 

 curled, and of that brilliant emerald-green 

 color so highly attractive when used for 

 garnishing. The flavor of the leaves is 

 also unusually rich and aromatic, ren- 

 dering this variety of special value where 

 used for flavoring, in sauces, dressing, 

 etc., either when fresh or dried. (See 

 cut.) Price, 10c. pkt., 15c. oz., 30c. J4 

 lb., 1.00 lb. 



" Your Emerald Parsley is the most beau- 

 tiful of all varieties I have seen or tried to 

 cultivate."

Earlier than other large peppers. 

 The fruits average \y 2 inches in cir- 

 cumference bv 4 inches long ; they 

 are thick meated and unusually mild 

 and sweet: flesh and skin bright red.

 inches high, and remarkably produc- 

 tive, continue fruiting throughout 

 the season. Price, 10c. pkt., 35c. 

 oz., $1.00 '4 lb., $3.50 lb. 



CHINESE GIANT PEPPER. 



This monstrous fruiting variety averages 12 to 15 inches in 

 circumference, and, notwithstanding its immense size, it is very 

 early and prolific; the stocky, well-branched plants, about 2 feet 

 high, carry so many peppers that in places they seem bunched 

 together. The flesh is thick, tender, mild, sweet, and unexcelled 

 when sliced as salad, or for stuffing for "mangoes." When ripe 

 the surface is of a brilliant glossv scarlet. (See cut.) Price, 10c. 

 pkt., 60c. oz., $1.60 ' v lb., $5.50 lb. 



" Your Chinese Giant is the best pepper I ever grew."
