MAULE'S IMPROVED LONG SMOOTH PARSNIP. 



ft*'/.'.' 



483 Maule's 

 Improved Long Smooth Parsnip 



This is the same as Hollow Crown or Improved 

 Long Sugar. A highly improved type producing 

 uniformly large and handsome roots of stocky 

 form, heavy at the shoulder, well rounded, gradu- 

 ally tapering to the base. Flesh white, of fine tex- 

 ture, free from core and stringiness; fine flavored. 

 Cooking tender; sweet and rich; enormously pro- 

 ductive and exceptionally smooth, with a full 

 crown, so that it keeps in the ground over winter 

 if necessary without protection. Recommended 

 for both garden or field culture. 



Packet, 10 cents; ounce, 20 cents; 

 % pound, 50 cents, postpaid. 



477 White Lisbon Parsnip 



A Desirable Home and Market Sort 



This grand parsnip, from Portugal, has proved to 

 be a striking and attractive novelty. Grown ex- 

 tensively by our market gardener friends, to their 

 great satisfaction. The shape is well shown- in il- 

 lustration (one-half natural size). It is remark- 

 ably free from side roots; in fact, in this respect 

 it is about the cleanest of all parsnips. It is fine 

 grained and of superior flavor, and if it had not 

 been named White Lisbon might well be called an 

 Improved Hollow Crown. Its handsome appear- 

 ance would attract attention anywhere, and we 

 are very sure it will give satisfaction. 



Packet, 10 cents; ounce, 20 cents; 

 % pound, 50 cents, postpaid. 



478 Maule's 

 Improved Half Long Parsnip 



We consider this the best parsnip for market 

 gardener or amateur. The root is smooth, and the 

 flesh fine grained and of excellent flavor. It is a 

 heavy cropper. Being larger in diameter and short- 

 er than the Long Smooth, it is harvested with less 

 labor. Excellent for stock as well as for the table. 

 Packet, 10 cents; ounce, 20 cents; 

 % pound, 50 cents, postpaid. 



PARSLEY 



Culture. — Sow seed in shallow drills in the early spring for border, 

 or in rows 12 to 18 inches apart, care being taken that the drills be not 

 more than % inch in depth, and that the seed be well pressed down 

 after sowing, as the seed germinates very slowly, 3 to 5 weeks elapsing 

 sometimes before it makes its appearance. Use 1 ounce to 150 feet of 

 drill, 3 pounds to an acre. Cultivate frequently.
