medium height ; very productive. This is the finest strain 
of Okra that can be procured, and was the best among the

entirely free from hard ridges. Onn Io cts.; % lb., 20

PARSNIP.— Ger. Pastinake. 
Large Sugar, or Hollow Crown. The illustra-

our strain of this vegetable, also the true hollow crown. It 
is the best variety for market gardeners to grow. The roots 
are long, very smooth, w hite, tender, sugary, and of 
excellent flavor. This strain was made by careful selection 
of roots growing to an ideal shape and having the distinct 
hollow crown. We have been improving it for some years 
past and now have it nearly perfect, the roots growing very 
uniform in size and shape. ‘The quality is all that could 
be desired, being sweet and sugary. It is a much heavier

Parsley. ‘The habit is regular and compact, and the exquisitely fine 
and prettily curled leaves are set so closely that the form of the plant 
is almost semi-globular. The color is a wonderful bright pea-green, 
and flavor surpasses all other Parsley. This steal combines the 
qualities of a fine culinary herb with those of a beautiful decorative 
plant, and is equally valuable for garnishing purposes and borders.

strong and vigorous grower, and produces large, finely curled leaves
