J. STECKLER SEED CO., LTD., ALMANAC AND 



Market Gardeners' Curled. 



Improved Garnishing. This is the best 

 kind to ornament a dish; it has the same 

 flavor as the other kinds. 



Creole Plain. This Parsley originally 

 comes from the imported French strain, 

 but after being grown in Louisiana for a 

 number of years it has a tendency to 

 grow taller; it is claimed by some gar- 

 deners that this Parsley does not go to 

 seed as quickly as the Northern and im- 

 ported varieties. It can be planted dur- 



ing the months of November, December, 

 January and February, also in June or 

 July, and is the best variety for all 

 around purposes. 



Market Gardeners' Curled. A splendid 

 variety for shipping. The leaves are 

 handsomely curled, dark green in color, 

 and of a very fine flavor. A decided im- 

 provement on the regular curled variety. 

 We recommend same very highly.
