There is great satisfaction in raising one's own pumpkins for pies. 

 This is Sugar or New England Pie. 



PARSNIP 



Pkts. 10c each/ oz. 20c 



Parsnips grow best in a loose, rich sandy loam, but will make good 

 roots in any soil that is reasonably rich and deep. Stony soil and raw 

 manure are likely to produce branched or misshapen roots. The seed 

 requires steady, abundant moisture for germination and should be sown 

 as early as practicable. Sow in rows 2 to 2J^ feet apart and when well 

 up, thin to about 5 inches apart in the row. Keep the ground moist if 

 possible. Parsnips are improved by freezing, and a portion of the crop 

 can be left in the ground all winter to be used as a spring vegetable 

 when the ground has thawed. 



GUERNSEY Roots 15 to 18 in. long, tapered, hollow crowned. 



• HOLLOW CROWN (Thick Shoulder) Roots 18 to 20 in. long; skin 

 smooth, white; flesh tender. Best and most popular variety in cul- 

 tivation. 



LONG SMOOTH Long roots of excellent flavor. Will keep through 

 winter without protection. Good for table and for stock feeding. 



SHORT THICK About half the size of Hollow Crown and a fine 

 garden vegetable. At least a month earlier than Hollow Crown. 



PUMPKIN

 American dishes. They are less sensitive to unfavorable conditions of 

 soil and weather than melons or cucumbers, but they are cultivated in 

 about the same way. 



Usually very large. Mostly used for stock

RADISH 



Pkts. 5c each/ oz. 1 5c/ V4 lb. 40c 



The ground for growing radishes should be finely prepared and as free 

 as possible of small stones and lumps. Plant seed about J^ inch deep 

 in rows 12 to 18 inches apart, and when up about an inch thin to 1 or 

 2 inches apart. Radishes are at their best when growth is quick and 

 steady. A moderate temperature and constant moisture are favorable 

 for best results. Most varieties become pithy soon after reaching full 

 size. In order to keep a continuous supply, successive plantings should 

 be made. 



•CRIMSON GIANT 30 days. Crisp, mild. Perfect condition until 

 nearly an inch in diameter. Largest of the early round radishes. 



• EARLY SCARLET GLOBE 25 days. Bright carmine-red; oval; flesh 



crisp and mild until nearly an inch in diam. Most desirable early 

 table radish. 



• EARLY SCARLET TURNIP 25 days. Crimson; roots quickly be- 



come an inch in diam.; turnip shape. Very satisfactory for early 

 planting; splendid quality. 



• EARLY SCARLET TURNIP, WHITE TIPPED 25 days. Upper 



part rich red; lower part snow-white; turnip shape. Grow to IK in. 

 diam. before becoming pithy. 



EARLY WHITE GIANT SUMMER or STUTTGART 43 days. Top

 ishes. A great favorite.

 carmine-red; smooth tender skin; 

 mild, crisp flesh; 6 in. long. Easy

 of ground.

 tip.
