Chinese Giant 

 Pepper 



677. The fruits of this variety 

 are mammoth, averaging 12 to 

 15 inches in circumference and, 

 notwithstanding the immense 

 size it is early and prolific ; the 

 stocky, well-branched plants, 

 about 2 feet high, carry a 

 large crop of most attractive 

 Peppers. The flesh is thick, 

 tender, mild, sweet and unex- 

 celled for use as a salad, or for 

 stuffing for "Mangoes." When 

 ripe the surface is of a brilliant 

 gloss scarlet. (See engraving.) 



Price, 15c. pkt., 85c. oz., $3.00 J£lb.

 Pepper

 and is also used in salads. The plants grow to a height 

 of about 2 feet, are very vigorous in growth, of compact 

 form and are remarkably productive. When the fruits 

 are young, the color is dark green, gradually changing 

 to bright red.

Henderson's Emerald Parsley 



653. A distinct variety of robust growth, freely furnished with short-stemmed 

 leaves, very finely cut and most beautifully curled, making a compact and ex- 

 tremely graceful plant. Most varieties of Parsley are dark green; but, as its 

 name implies, .Emerald is brilliant emerald-green in color and therefore more 

 highly esteemed by many for decorative and garnishing purposes. It is 

 equally aromatic both in odor and flavor, and produces its attractive JoHage 

 in abundance. (See engraving.) Price, 10c. pkt., 25c. oz., 80c. 34 lb., $3.00 lb. 



HENDERSON'S 



Hollow Crown Parsnip 



667. Our selection of this highly esteemed variety is surely the best for 



the private garden. We have discarded all the types with slim, long roots 



that invariably break in digging, and offer only a shapely heavy-shouldered 



strain with its greatest girth at the crown and gradually tapering to a small 



root. This is easily dug, and is suited to a greater variety of soils than any. 



To secure best results deep 

 digging is essential, and the 

 soil should be free from stone 

 and well cultivated. 



For winter use lay the roots 

 horizontally in small boxes 

 packed with ordinary garden 

 soil, and store them in some 

 convenient place outdoors 

 away from snow or rain. Bring 

 in a box as needed thawing 

 them out slowry in a moderate 

 temperature. Frost improves 

 their quality. (See engraving.) 

 Price, 10c. pkt., 20c. oz., 60c.

"I have grown Henderson's Hollow 

 Crown Parsnips for five years now 

 with great success. I have had 

 many iito 15 inches around and 24 

 inches long." 



H. BARNSLEY, Corona, L. I. 



"By far the best parsnips that ice 

 have ever had on our table are Hender- 

 son's Hollow Crown. They are large, 

 smooth exceedingly tender and sugary, 

 and very uniform in size ayid shape."
