All the Varieties of Peppers We List are Exceptionally Good 
Champion Moss Curled Parsley. 
Parsley 
One ounce will sow about 150 feet of drill. 
The leaves of Parsley are used for garnishing and 
flavoring. Seed resembles that of celery, but larger 
and dark grayish green. After soaking for a few hours 
in tepid water, to hasten germination, sow in rich, 
mellow soil, in drills one foot apart and one'half inch 
deep. Thin out the young plants to 4 inches apart. 
Give Hamburg Parsley the same culture as carrots. 
Champion Moss Curled. The dark green leaves are 
very finely curled, making it very attractive for gar' 
nishing or for border planting. 
Hamburg or Rooted. The roots of this variety are 
used in flavoring soups and stews. 
Improved Hollow Crown. 
Parsnips 
One ounce will sow about 200 feet of drill. 
Parsnips thrive in rich soil, deeply dug. Seed flat, 
thin, round, greenish yellow, one'eighth to three'six' 
teenths inch diameter. Sow a half inch deep, in drills 
18 inches apart, as soon as the ground can be worked. 
The roots are improved by frost, and as they are very 
hardy, may be allowed to remain in the ground all 
winter. 
Improved Hollow Crown. The roots are of medium 
length, with a broad shoulder which gradually tapers 
downward. The skin is white, smooth, and attrac' 
tive, and the flesh is sweet, fine grained and tender. 
Good for table use or stock feeding. 
Peppers 
One ounce will produce about 1,000 plant*. 
Pepper seed is light yellow, about shape of tomato 
seed, but flat, hard, and about one'eighth inch diameter. 
It may be sown in the hotbed in March or April, and 
later transplanted to 3'inch pots until the ground is 
warm enough to permit of setting in the garden. Set 
plants 3 inches deeper than they were in the pots and 
2 feet by 18 inches apart in the drill. Sow seed out' 
doors after all danger of frost is past, four or five seeds 
to the hill, and at distances above given. Thin to one 
plant when well up.
