PARSLEY

A new variety, with all the good qualities of the moss 

 curled type, but is hardier, darker in color, densely 

 curled and holds its dark green color well into the late 

 fall, when other varieties have turned yellow. A most 

 desirable sort for garnishing and decorating.

A distinct variety of robust growth, freely furnished 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 for decorative and garnishing purposes.

658 GREEN GEM 



Tills is a wonderful dwarf compact strain of parsley, which has been 

 worked upon .and gradually brought to its present state of perfection 

 during the past ten years. 



Green Gem has a dual use, as it is also very suitable for an ornamental 

 border in the flower garden. The color is a very rich deep green. It is 

 most exquisitely curled. 



Price, pkt. 2.Sc; oz. 50c; M lb $1.50. 



PARSNIP 



CULTURE. — Sow seed in rows two feet 

 apart as soon as ground is in condition 

 in spring, cover seed one-half inch. 



667 HOLLOW CROWN (Henderson's) 



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. Frost improves their 

 quality. (See illustration.)

A Succession Trio of Quality Garden Peas 



171 LAXTONIAN 



A Grand Early Marrow Dwarf Pea 



The vine is only eighteen inches high, 

 which makes it possible for any one to 

 raise the largest Peas very early in the 

 season on a small area, and with very 

 little effort. It is a vigorous and depend- 

 able grower, and very prolific. 



The pods are not only large, but are 

 always well filled with Peas of great 

 size and remarkably good quality. The 

 crop is ready for use about a week 

 later than the earliest sorts. By sow- 

 ing this variety at intervals of ten days 

 up to the end of May, a very satisfac- 

 tory supply of Peas may be raised for 

 continuous use. 



Price, pkt. 10c; 1 lb. 4Sc; 2 lbs. 85c; 

 8 lbs. $3.00; 15 lbs. $5.50; transportation

 filled, insures a bountiful supply at all

 from six to ten Peas of delicious quality, 

 large and rich in flavor.

Last April I ordered your "Country Gentleman" 

 collection. This line of work was all new to me, 

 hailing never planted a seed before. My cabbage, 

 tomatoes, peas, beans, lettuce, parsley and corn 

 are the talk of the town. The melon vines are just 

 covered with melons. The endive, turnips and 

 ruta baga are coming up fine.
