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

 and extremely graceful plant. Most varieties of parsley are dark green;

 worked upon and gradually brought to its present state of perfection 

 during the past ten years. 



Green Gem has a dual use, as it is also very suitable for an ornamental 

 border in the flower garden. The color is a very rich deep green. It is 

 most exquisitely curled.

PARSNIP 



CULTURE. — Sow seed in rows two feet apart 

 as soon as ground is in condition in spring, cover 

 seed one-half inch. 



667 HOLLOW CROWN (Henderson's) 



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. 



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. Frost improves their 

 quality. (See illuslration.) 



Price, pkt. 10c; oz. 20c; M lb. 60c; lb. $1.50; transpor- 

 tation paid. 



655 EARLY ROUND 



Early Round Parsnip is especially adapted for 

 the private garden on account of its extreme 

 earliness. The roots are top-shaped, of small 

 size, very easily dug; and the flavor is very much 

 esteemed.

A Succession Trio of Quality Garden Peas 



{Shown In Colors On Opposite Page) 



•162 FIRST-OF-ALL, 



(Henderson's) 



Beyond All Question the Earliest 

 Pea Grown. 



The extreme earliness of First-of-All 

 emphatically 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 preferred by many. 

 Anyway, First-of-All 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 frost leaves the 

 ground. 



Price, pkt. 10c; pt. 40c; qt. 75c; 

 4 qts. $2.50; peck $4.75; transportation 

 paid. 



186 PROSPERITY, 



(Henderson's) 



Largest Highly Flavored Pea Grown. 



It is very gratifying to the grower to 

 be 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 profusion and so liberally 

 filled, insures a bountiful supply at all 

 times. 



The vines are three feet high, the 

 pods 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. 



Price, pkt. 10c; pt. 40c; qt. 75c; 

 4 qts. $2.50; peck $4.75; transportation 

 paid. 



180 ONWARD 



New Main Crop Garden Pea. 



This new variety is undoubtedly a 

 very distinct and valuable addition to 

 the mid-season 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. 



Although it does not grow as tall as 

 Telephone, its vigorous constitution is 

 such that it is practically immune to 

 blight; consequently, it bears a large 

 crop, as the bearing season is carried over 

 a long period of time. Considered by 

 experts to be decidedly the best pea 

 recently introduced. Height 2]/^ to 3 ft. 



Price, pkt. ISc; pt. 45c; qt. 85c; 

 4 qts. $3.00; peck $5.50; transportation 

 paid. 



The Succession Trio of Garden Peas will supply your table with delicious Peas throughout the entire season.
