 short-stemmed leaves, very finely cut and most beauti- 

 fully curled, making a compact and extremely 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 for decorative 

 and garnishing purposes. {See illustration.)

 decorating.

667 HOLLOW CROWN 

 (Henderson's) 



Our selection of this highly esteemed variety is surely 

 the best for the private garden. We have discarded the 

 types with shm, 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. 



For winter use lay the roots horizontally in 

 small boxes packed with ordinary garden soil 

 and store them in some convenient place out- 

 doors away from snow or rain. Frost improves 

 their quality. {See illustration.) ,

162 FIRST-OF-ALL 



(Henderson's) 



Beyond All Question the Earliest 

 Pea Grown 



The extreme earliness of First-of-AU em- 

 phatically distinguishes it from all others. 



While it lacks the "marrow" flavor of 

 the larger and later sorts it has a sweetness 

 peculiar to its class, and a flavor which is 

 prefened by many. Anyway, First-of-AU 

 may be eaten and the crop removed while 

 other sorts are maturing. The slim, 3-foot 

 vines permit close planting; it may be planted 

 as soon as fros't leaves the ground.

 8 lbs. $2.50; 15 lbs. $4.50; transportation

 able to supply the table with such delicious 

 Peas as early as the first week in June. 

 The immense size of the pods borne in such 

 great profussion and so liberally filled, 

 insures a bountiful supply at all times.

 are borne singly and freely from top to 

 bottom of the vine and contain from six to 

 ten Peas of delicious quality, large and 

 rich in flavor.

180 ONWARD 



A Very Fine Main Crop Pea

 valuable addition to the midseason 

 varieties. It is fit for the table just before 

 Telephone, and bears a very heavy crop 

 of pods four inches long, large, broad, 

 straight, and blunt at the ends;, always 

 filled with from six to eight dark green, 

 sweetly flavored peas.

 it is practically immune to blight; con- 

 sequently, it bears a large crop, as its 

 bearing season is longer than others.
