H^NDERSo^s Emerald Parsley. 



Henderson s Emerald Parsley 



A distinct and handsome variety of quick, robust 



growth forming compact, ornamental plants, 



densely furnished with strong-stemmed graceful 



leaves, finely cut, most beautifully curled, and 



of that brilliant emerald-green color so highly 



attractive when used for garnishing. The 



flavor of the lea\'es is also unusually rich 



and aromatic, rendering this variety of 



special value where used for flavoring, in 



sauces, dressing, etc., either when fresh 



or dried. {See cut.) Price, 10c. pkt., 



15c. oz., 40c. li lb., $1.25 lb. 



SWEET MOUNTAIN or 

 IMPROVED BULL NOSE 



The Bell or Bull Nose Pepper has 

 long been a favorite. This improved 

 variety is distinguished by being earlier 

 and by its production of larger sized, 

 thicker fleshed and more regular 

 shaped pods, which are so mild flavored 

 and free from pungency while green, 

 that they may be eaten out of hand 

 like fruit. Served in slices or as salad 

 cut up with Cabbage they are pleasant- 

 ly appetizing; while stuffed as "Man- 

 goes" and for pickling green this 

 Sweet Mountain Pepper is unsur- 

 passed. Fruit bright red when ripe. 

 Price, 5c. pkt., 30c. oz., 90c. J^ lb., 

 $3.00 lb.

RUBY KING PEPPER 



One of the most popular large-fruiting Peppers; a prolific 

 bearer of extra large ruby-red fruits, 5 to 6 inches long by 3 to 4 

 inches in diameter; flesh exceedingly thick, sweet and so mild 

 that it is often eaten sliced as salad; splendid for stuffing, etc. 

 Price, 10c. pkt., 35c. oz., $1.00 }4 lb., $3.50 lb. 



" / picked from your Ruby King four peppers that u-eigJted just 3' 2 pounds. The 

 largest one was 16 inches around and 6 yi inches long, tipping the scales at 114 lbs. 

 The plants are loaded. They are splendid for pickling.

HENDERSON'S 



H°ik?>^N PARSNIP 



This is a highly improved type, 

 producing uniformly large and hand- 

 some roots of stocky form, hea\'y at 

 the shoulder, well rounded, gradually 

 tapering to the base, so that they are 

 easily dag, and if grown in properly 

 pulverized soil, the roots will be 

 smooth and free from wrinkles and 

 side roots. The flesh is white, of fine 

 texture, free from core and stringi- 

 ness, and especially fine-flavored, cook- 

 ing tender, sweet and rich, rendering 

 it one of the finest of table vegetables 

 for winter use. The roots may remain 

 in the ground aU 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. Frost improves their qual- 

 ity. This Parsnip is the heaviest 

 cropper of all and we recommend it 

 for both garden and field culture. 



CHINESE GIANT PEPPER 



This monstrous fruiting variety averages 12 to 15 inches in 

 circumference, and, notwithstanding its inimense size, it is xery 

 early and prolific; the stocky, well-branched plants, about 2 feet 

 high, carry so many peppers that in places thej' seem bunched 

 together. The flesh is thick, tender, mild, sweet, and unexcelled 

 when sliced as salad, or for stuffing for "Mangoes." When ripe 

 the surface is of a brilliant glossv scarlet. {See cut.) Price, 10c. 

 pkt., 50c. oz., $1.50 i<C lb., $5.00 lb. 



" Your Chinese Giant is the best pepper I ever grew."

"This may be the largest parsnip story you 

 ever heard, but it's true. I purchased seed of 

 your Hollow Crown last Spring and raised big 

 ones in majority; the largest weighed c trifle over 

 6 pounds with leaves all off. I will add that it 

 was solid and it cooked up tender and delicious. '
