EDIBLE POD VARIETIES 



As easily cooked as snap beans, and with all the sweetness 

 and flavor of fresh green peas, these varieties should be better 

 known than they are. When the pods are partly filled, they are 

 prepared like snap beans; when the seeds have developed, they 

 are eaten as shelled peas. 



GIANT BUTTER The pods of thia variety are as brittle and 

 tender as the best snap beans and look much like them. 

 They are borne profusely on strong branching vines 43^ 

 to 5 feet tall and are ready for use in 10 weeks from the date 

 of planting. When in best table condition the pods are 3J-2 

 to 4 inches longj smooth, fleshy, and sharply curved. They 

 often become 6 inches long when fully mature. Seeds 

 medium small, wrinkled, green. 

 Pkt. 10c; lb. 40c; 10 lbs. $3.25.

MELTING SUGAR This is one of the best known edible pod 

 varieties for the home garden. Large broad pods, 4 to 4}^ 

 inches long, are often curved or twisted and when young

 4 to 5 feet tall, produce an abundance of pods which are 

 ready in 70 to 75 days. Seeds medium large, round, and 

 smooth; color creamy-white and yellow.

PARSLEY 



Besides its value for flavoring and garnishing, parsley is now 

 considered a real food because it contains a large amount of the 

 iron so necessary for health. The dainty leaves may be used 

 green, or they may be dried crisp, rubbed to powder, and kept 

 bottled. 



Parsley seed is even slower than parsnip in germinating. It 

 grows best in rich mellow soil and should be sown as early as 

 possible in spring in rows 1 to 2 feet apart with a covering of 

 not more than a half-inch of soil firmly pressed down. When the 

 plants are well up, thin them 8 to 12 inches apart in the row. 

 As soon as those of the curled varieties are about 3 inches high, 

 cut off all the leaves; the new growth will be brighter and better 

 curled. Every cutting, made in this way, will improve the 

 quality of the leaves. 



DOUBLE CURLED Very handsome; rich, deep green with 

 finely curled leaves. 



Pkt. 10c; oz. 20c; 1/4 lb. 45c; lb. $1.25. 



EXTRA TRIPLE CURLED (Moss Curled) This vigorous, 

 compact grower is one of the most popular varieties be- 

 cause of its deep green color and tightly curled leaves that 

 look like moss. It is unusually decorative for table use. 



Pkt. 10c; oz. 20c; 1/4 lb. 45c; lb. $1.25. 



HAMBURG, Thick Rooted The root of this variety is edible 

 and resembles a parsnip in color and shape. The flesh is 

 white, dry, and similar to Celeriac in flavor. It is used for 

 flavoring soups and stews. The roots may be stored in sand 

 for winter use. 



Pkt. 10c; oz. 20c; 1/4 lb. 45c; lb. $1.25. 



PLAIN or SINGLE The leaves are deeply cut, flat, and dark 

 green in color. They are much used for flavoring and for 

 drying. The plant is hardy and easily grown.
