 fine Parsley. The

 exquisitely fine 

 and prettily curl- 

 ed leaves are set 

 so closely that the 

 form of the plant 

 is almost semi- 

 globular. The 

 color is a wonder- 

 ful bright pea- 

 green, and flavor 

 surpasses all other 



Parsley. This variety combines the quality of a fine culinary herb with that of a 

 beautiful decorative plant, and is equally valuable for garnishing purposes and border.

Early Eight -Weeks Pea 



628 Our grower writes to us concerning this new Pea as follows: "For the private gardener, 

 who demands a first early dwarf Pea of good quality, the Early Eight- Weeks is very 

 desirable. In our Pea Trials, it was ready for picking before any of the other extra 

 early varieties and the quality all that could be asked for in a smooth extra early Pea. 

 The vines were very dwarf, growing only 12 to 15 inches in height and loaded with the 

 well filled pods, which were quite large in size for so early a variety. The pods should be 

 picked from vines while they are in a young state of growth, at which time the peas 

 are exceedingly tender and of a most delicious flavor. Pkt., 10 cts.; \ lb., 25 cts.; lb., 

 40 cts.; 2 lbs., 75 cts.; 5 lbs., $1.75 prepaid. 



"The President" Pea 



702 Here is a new introduction of outstanding quality, and which, we are sure will be well 

 received by our many customers. "The President" produces a vine 20 or 22 inches 

 high, strong and vigorous, and rich dark green in color, bearing straight dark green 

 pods in profusion which measure 4J to 4 \ inches in length, always well filled with sweet 

 flavored Peas. Peas are ready for picking in about 68 or 70 days and therefore it is a 

 most valuable sort to plant along with Laxtons Progress, which can be picked 7 or 8 

 days earlier. A trial pound or two will return a very profitable crop. Pkt.. 15 cts.; 

 i- lb., 25 cts.; 1 lb., 45 cts.; 2 lbs., 80 cts.; 5 lbs., $2.00, prepaid. 



Early Eight Weeks Peas 



Delicious Gold Lined Muskmelon 



493 Growers of muskmelons, both for home use and for market, will be 

 delighted with "Delicious Gold Lined." The melon is nearly round, 

 without ribs, and the skin is covered with a thick grayish netting, 

 adding much to its appearance. The thick flesh is green, with 

 golden tint next to the small seed cavity, which makes it very attrac- 

 tive when cut, and the flavor delicious, being remarkably sweet and 

 spicy. Vines are very prolific, and bear large numbers of fruits, 

 which are edible in about 90 days from time of planting seed. This 

 melon has our highest recommendation. Pkt., 15 cts.; oz., 30 cts.; 

 i lb., 85 cts.; lb., $3.00. 



Southport White Globe Onion 



584 On account of its uniform globe shape this variety is highly prized, 

 particularly for the home garden, where quality as well as appearance 

 are desired. The bulbs are pure white and of very mild flavor, also 

 equally as good for keeping as the Yellow Globe. It is good for use 

 as a medium crop, but most valuable when grown for the main crop j 

 as the flesh is remarkably firm and solid. It is an enormous yielder, 

 and as it is very attractive, always sells at high prices. It is best to 

 dry these onions in a shady place, and give them plenty of air. Pkt., 

 15 cts.; J oz., 25 cts.; oz., 45 cts.; \ lb., $1.25; lb., $4.50.
