PETER HENDERSON & CO., NEW YORK.— WHOLESALE CATALOGUE. 



PARSLEY 



Henderson's Extra Double Curled. 



This is a very fine stock of quick, robust growth, 

 forming compact plants, densely furnished with strong- 

 stemmed giant leaves, finely cut, deeply curled and 

 crimped and a brilliant, deep green color. The flavor 

 of the leaves is also unusually rich and aromatic, ren- 

 dering this variety of especial value where used for 

 flavoring, in sauces, dressings, etc., either when fresh 

 or dried. We recommend our market gardener's se- 

 lected stock of Double Curled Parsley as the best to 

 grow in the open ground for summer and fall use, or in 

 fraxnes for winter use. {See cut.) Price, 10c. oz., 30c. 

 i lb., $1.00 lb. 



"1 find your st?am of Double Curled Parsley superior to any I ei'er 

 trru'. The leaves are large, very curly and of fine color."

HENDERSON'S 



HOLLOW CROWN Parsnip. 



A highly improved type producing uniformly large and 

 handsome stocky roots, 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 

 •urface will be smooth and unusually free from wrinkles 

 and side roots. The flesh is of fine texture, free from core 

 and stringiness. 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. This Parsnip is the 

 heaviest cropper of all and we recommend it to market 

 j;ardeners. Price, 10c. oz., 20c. } lb., 50c. lb.
