PARSNIPS 
1 Oz. for 150 Feet of Row 
4 Lbs. per Acre 
Parsnips are one of the best vegetables we 
have, and they get much sweeter after they are 
frozen; consequently it is much better to freeze 
them if you can before using. Have the boxes 
small enough so that you can remove one to the 
cellar at a time and use them up through the 
winter for fries and parsnip stews. 
Guernsey (Improved Half Long)—The 
roots do not grow so long as the Hollow Crown, 
but are of greater diameter and more easily 
gathered. The roots are very smooth; the flesh 
is fine grained and of most excellent quality. 
Pkt., 5c; 1 oz., 10c; 'A lb., 25c; 1 lb., 65c. 
Short Thick Parsnip 
It Is a stump rooted variety and hence 
easily harvested. Roots reach a length of about 
8 inches, with a thick broad shoulder, skin is 
smooth and white, and the flesh is fine-grained, 
sweet, sugary, tender and most excellent for 
table use. Very early, maturing in about 115 
days. It is a most prolific yielder, it contains

PARSLEY

PEANUTS 
South Dakota Grown 
A few years ago we offered a quantity of 
South Dakota grown peanuts. It sounded 
almost wonderful to think that South Dakota 
was growing them and we find that peanuts are 
just as easy to grow as potatoes, sometimes a 
little more so. Down south they let the hogs 
harvest the peanuts because it is easier to do 
that than it is to harvest them in any other way. 
Up here peanuts are grown profitably, and a pan¬ 
ful of them set in the oven and baked and eaten 
during these long winter evenings is certainly 
worth while. The variety which we are offering 
is early enough to grow in any of the northern 
states, produces an immense yield of excellent 
nuts. We have enough of the South Dakota 
grown nuts to supply our customers this season, 
and believe it to be a profitable crop to grow. 
A peanut at its best should be planted in a light 
sandy soil. You can grow peanuts in other soil 
profitably, but the light sandy soil produces the 
greatest crop. With each order for peanuts we 
will inclose the peanut bulletin that will give you 
full instructions for planting and care. Per lb., 
25c; 5 lbs., 90c; 10 lbs., $1.60; 25 lbs., $3.50.

Dear Sirs; 
I am sending you my garden seed order 
again this year. In spite of it being very dry 
I raised a good garden. I canned 200 quarts 
of vegetables, besides 30 gallons of pickles, 
and sold over $50.00 worth besides all a 
family of eight could use. 
Yours very truly, 
Mrs. F. E. Ewing, 
Albion, Neb.
