New 



Chinese Giant 



Pepper 



The finest, largest and mildest Pepper of allj 

 growing to the enormous weight of 18 ounces 



Chinese Giant is certainly a wonder. The plants are of 

 strong, stocky growth, of hushy erect habit, growing 18 inches 

 to 2 feet in height, with abundant foliage. The compact plants 

 are very prolific, setting three to four extra large fruits at the 

 base quite early in the season, which ripen while a second crop 

 is setting on the branches. The fruit is well shown in the 

 illustration herewith, being quite square in appearance, while 

 the flesh is thick and very mild, being entirely free from any 

 fiery flavor. Pkt, 10 cts., Joa. 30 cts., oz, 50 cts., Jib. 

 $1.50, lb. $5.

^^NEW. BEST STRAIN FOR MARKET-GARDENERS 



In shape of leafj color and taste this new variety is 

 . th4 ideal of perfection among all Parsley varieties. 

 The leaves are ornamentally crimped ; the growth is 

 cotnpressed, spreading and thick, so that the plant 

 forms* almost a half-globe. The plant is of very robust growth, 

 and greatly improved by severe cutting. . It stands heat, drought 

 and cold better and will yield much better than any other of the 

 \ numerous varieties of Parsley we have ever tried. Pkt. 10 cts., 

 oz., 20 cts., i\b. 40 cts., lb. $1.25, by mail, postpaid. 



This is a highly improved type, producing uniformly large 

 and handsome roots of stocky form, heavy at the shoulder, well 

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

 dug, and if grown in properly pulverized soil, the surface will 

 be smooth and unusually free from v^rinkles and side 

 roots. The flesh is white, of fine texture, free from 

 core and stringiness, and especially fine-flavored ; cook- 

 ing 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 

 fiome 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 recom- 

 mend it for both garden and field culture. (See cut.)
