EXTRA DOUBLE CURLED 

 PARSLEY 



An excellent strain, distinguished for its 

 fine dark color, short stiff leaf stems, and 

 densely curled leaves. It is extremely even 

 in height, and is just as good as it can be in 

 every way. 



There are many inferior stocks on the market 

 which contain a large percentage of plain 

 leaved plants. Such stocks are entirely 

 unsuitable for the market, and should be 

 avoided. Price, oz. 10c, }i lb. 30c, lb. $1.00. 

 (10 lbs. and upwards 90c lb.) 



HAMBURG OR TURNIP 

 ROOTED PARSLEY 



Henderson's Select Strain 

 Hamburg or turnip-rooted parsley has roots 

 very much resembling a small parsnip with a 

 flavor not unlike celeriac. The leaves are 

 nearly the same in appearance as plain parsley, 

 but it is grown for its roots; which mature 

 quickly. The flesh is white, tender when 

 cooked, and it is greatly in demand in many 

 sections of the country. We offer a special 

 strain for Market Gardeners. (See en- 

 graving.) Price, oz. 10c, H lb. 30c, lb. $1.00. 

 (10 lbs. and upwards 90c lb.)

Stocks 



HAMBURG OR TURNIP-ROOTED PARSLEY 



CALIFORNIA WONDER 



A large variety with unusually thick flesh, 

 and a wonderfully smooth skin. 



The color of the peppers, before ripening, 

 is deep green, but when fully ripe they turn 

 to a beautiful scarlet color. 



These peppers have a very attractive ap- 

 pearance due to their waxy surface and in- 

 tense color. 



California Wonder is one of the best 

 shipping varieties, due to the thickness of its 

 interior walls, which give great solidity to the 

 peppers. 



It is a prolific cropper and produces peppers 

 considerably heavier than other peppers of the 

 same size. We feel very confident that 

 California Wonder will take its place as a 

 leading variety for the market grower. (See 

 engraving.) Price, oz. $2.00, ' 4 lb. $6.00. 



SWEET PEPPER 

 WORLDBEATER 



Because of its extra thick flesh World- 

 Beater is one of the best shipping peppers, 

 and cannot be beaten for Market Gardeners' purposes. 

 It is as early as Ruby King and about as large as Chinese 

 Giant. The flavor is extremely mild and fruits are well 

 colored being at first green and then turning to a rich 

 scarlet red. Worldbeater is very prolific, as many as 

 many as twenty-four peppers being produced by a single 

 plant. The bushes are dwarf and vigorous with strong 

 stems which carry the fruits well above the soil. Price, 

 oz. 55c, i 4 lb. $1.75, lb. $6.00. 



Sweet Pepper Ruby King 



Ruby King is one of the most popular large-fruited sweet peppers 

 grown. It is held in high estimation by the market gardeners and is 

 equally valuable for the home gardeners. The plants, which are vigor- 

 ous, grow to a height of about two feet, and are clothed with rich, dark 

 green foliage. 



The fruits average about five inches long by three inches in diameter 

 and are usually three lobed. The color is a pleasing deep green, which 

 turns to a glowing ruby red when ripe and the plant is a prolific bearer 

 presenting a most attractive appearance when showing its fruit in various 

 stages of development. 



The flesh is exceedingly thick, sweet and mild making it a desirable and 

 favorite sort for slicing, salads, stuffing, etc. (See engraving.) Price, 

 oz. 55c, M lb. $1.75, lb. $6.00. 



SWEET PEPPER EARLY GIANT (Harris) 



This is the earliest and most prolific of all large peppers. The bushes 

 are dwarf and very compact in habit, and bear a heavy crop of attractive 

 scarlet colored peppers. Early Giant (Harris) is a perfect variety for 

 the market grower, because a good crop is always assured. Price, oz. 

 $1.25, 14 lb. $3.50, lb. $12.00.
