ling onions, mature bulbs and bunching 
onions. Medium size, flat, deep, pure white 
bulbs with white fine grained flesh. 
White Queen 
A fine, early maturing, pickling onion. 
Bulbs somewhat flat, 1 to IV 2 in. in diam¬ 
eter, pure white, very delicate in flavor. A 
popular variety with market gardeners who 
plant it largely for bunching onions. 
White Welsh 
A very hardy, perennial variety which is 
used only for bunching or for early green 
onions. It forms no bulbs. May be sown in 
late Summer or Fall and the shoots will, in 
the Spring, attain marketable size before 
green onions from sets are offered. 
PARSLEY 
Dark Moss Curled Parsley 
Dark Moss Curled 
This is a vigorous growing, compact, 
productive sort. Leaves are very dark green 
in color, finely cut and so thickly curled that 
a plant resembles a bunch of moss. A home 
and market garden variety, excellent for 
garnishing and decoration. 
Double Curled 
A dwarf variety having finely curled, 
moss-like leaves of bright green color. Un¬ 
surpassed for garnishing and flavoring. 
Fern Leaved 
A dwarf, sturdy plant of most beautiful 
form and color. Leaves are finely divided, 
resembling a small fern. Excellent flavor. 
Plain or Single 
Also known as Hardy Italian. Plain leaves 
of excellent flavor. A heavy producer 
throughout the season. Excellent for sea¬ 
soning but not so attractive for garnishing, 
as the moss or curled leaf varieties.

Also known as Hamburg or German. 
Edible roots resemble small parsnips and it 
is esteemed for flavoring soups, stews, etc. 
Leaves are plain.
