PARSNIP-SHORT THICK 



Parsnip Short Thick makes a splendid 

 bunch vegetable for Market Gardeners. 



T 



HIS attractive little 

 parsnip makes a fine 

 garden and bunch veg- 

 etable. The tops are only 

 about half the size of ordinary 

 Hollow Crown. The roots are 

 short and thick, reaching a 

 diameter of 2^ to 3I/2 inches 

 and a length of only 6 or 8 

 inches at the thickened part, 

 making it easy to pull. The 

 roots are full crowned and 

 rounded on top with a small 

 neck, giving them a very 

 smooth and attractive appear- 

 ance. This variety is very 

 early, fully a month earlier 

 than Hollow Crown, and often 

 reaches full size in 100 days 

 from planting time. The roots 

 fill out at an early stage and 

 can be pulled for home use 

 long before they reach full ma- 

 turity. The quality is excel- 

 lent. Texture is good and the 

 roots are free from strings or 

 woody fiber. The flavor is 

 much more delicate than the 

 larger varieties and will appeal 

 to many people who ordinarily 

 do not care for parsnips.

LETTUCE-CURLY CONTINUITY 



THIS new variety is the result ot a 

 cross between New York and 

 Continuity. The result is a beautiful, 

 crisp head, about the size and season of 

 Continuity but with brighter red shading 

 on a clear green background. The heads 

 are well folded and firm, of excellent qual- 

 ity, and stand well before bolting. The 

 texture of the leaf is crisp like New York, 

 and the leaves are nicely frilled, but in 

 other ways the appearance is more like 

 Continuity. Quality is excellent, and the 

 sweet nutty flavor partakes somewhat of 

 the good qualities of each parent.
