HENDERSON'S 

 OLLOW CROWN 



PARSNIP 



This is a higHy improved type, producing uniformlv large 

 and handsome roots of stocky form, heavy at the shoulder, -n-ell 

 rounded, gradually tapering to the base, so that they are easily 

 dug, and if grown in properly pulverized soil, the ro"ots -ri-ill be 

 smooth and free from wrinkles and side roots. The flesh is 

 white, of fine texture, free from core and stringiness, and espe- 

 cially fine-flavored, cooking tender, sweet and rich, rendering 

 it one of the finest of table vegetables for -winter use. The 

 roots may remain in the ground all winter, being hardy, or some 

 may be dug late in the fall and stored in sand or soil, so that 

 they can be gotten at easily when the ground is frozen. Frost 

 improves their quality. This parsnip is the heaviest cropper of 

 all and we recommend it for both garden and field culture.
