Hollow-Crowned. The Bloomsdale might be compared to a Danvers Carrot, and, like 
it, is most desirable. 
PARSNIP— Tui'nip-Rooted.— While the ordinary Parsnip is long like a carrot, this is 
half flat like a turnip, and is. therefore, adapted to hard soils or stony fields, a.s it makes 
its growth on, or near, 
the surface, lii flavor it 
is the same as the I^ong 
Rooted Parsnip. 
SQUASH-Long Yellow- 
Summer Crookneck.— 
The fruit, etc., when in 
condition for the table, 
is 8 to 12 inches in length 
and soft all over. It is a 
choice variety, very early 
and productive. The plant 
is not a runner, but a 
bush, admitting of close 
planting in hills 4x4 
feet. 
SQUASH- Extra Early 
Bush.— E^arlier than the 
old style Flat White Bush, 
from which this is a selec- 
tion. Flesh thick, tender; plant not a runner, but compact, or bush-like in growth and 
of about two feet in diameter; the hills can be accordingly placed 4x4 feet each way. It 
is very early and the seed we offer is of tlie most excellent selection as respects all 
the qualities desir- 
able in an Extra 
Early Bush Sqiiash. 
It is a variety most 
desirable in early 
summer. 
TURlSriP— EarlF 
Dxitch— White all 
over, and the same 
inside. Exceeding- 
ly quick in growth, 
form flat, crisp in 
flesh and of good 
flavor, foliage long, 
straight, u a r r o w , 
strap-leaved. Ear- 
lier than the Red 
Top Flat. 
T U R W I P— S now 
White G-lobe.— 
Selected and cross- 
bred on our own 
Long L,iGirr icixG 
grounds. A strap-leaved sort of Norfolk Globe origin, but now three weeks earlier th;^n 
Norfolk and not so round nor large. Its leaf is entirely distinct from Norfbik; 
altogether it is a fine bred turnip, and one admirably adapted to table use, for early 
market sales or for feeding cattle.
