Henderson's Hollow Crown 



607. 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. Bring 

 in a box as needed, thawing them out slowly in a moderate 

 temperature. Frost improves their quality. (See engraving.)

Early Round 



665. 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.

CULTURE.— The germination of 

 Parsley seed is very slow, taling 

 about four weel:s. Sow seed in 



rows about one fool apart, coriring seed one-half inch.

Henderson's Emerald 



653. A distinct variety of robust growth, freely fur- 

 nished with short-stemmed leaves, very finely cut 

 and most beautifully 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 by many for decorative and garnish- 

 ing purposes. It is equally aromatic both in odor 

 and flavor, and produces its attractive foliage in 

 abundance. (See engraving.)
