Bermuda Onion Plants 
Most of our customers have 
eaten the large sweet Bermuda 
Onions that are shipped North 
from Texas during the early 
spring months and usually sold 
at high prices. You can raise 
these in your own garden as 
easily as you grow Radishes by 
using Bermuda Onion plants. You 
can use them as green onions or 
allow them to grow to their full 
size; you can have nice large 
onions by July. Try them once 
and you will want some every 
year. 
Our Bermuda Onion plants are 
grown in Texas during the winter 
months in the open. These plants 
are extremely hardy, alive, green, 
well rooted, vigorous and will 
begin to grow as soon as they are 
set out. 
Put up in bundles of about 
100 plants no less than 100 can 
be sold.

Parsley 
(Prezzemole, Perejil, Peterilie) 
CULTURE—One ounce of seed will plant 150 feet of 
drill; 3 pounds an acre. Parsley succeeds best on rich, 
mellow soil. The seed is very slow to germinate, and 
should be sown as early as possible in the spring. Sow in 
rows 12 to 18 inches apart, covering from one-half to an 
inch deep with the fine soil, firmly pressed down. When 
the plants are about 3 inches high, thin to about 6 inches 
apart in the row. Parsley is used largely for seasoning 
soups and stews, also for garnishing and for salads. 
CHAMPION MOSS-CURLED— A choice, selected strain. 
Beautifully crimped, curled leaves. The color is rich 
green, making it the very best for garnishing. Its 
pleasant, aromatic flavor is unsurpassed. Very slow to 
go to seed and quite hardy. 
DOUBLE CURLED— A very compact, curly, fine cut, bright 
green variety. The market gardener’s favorite.

Parsnips 
(Pastinaca, Chirivia, Pastinaka) 
CULTURE—One ounce of seed will plant 200 feet of 
drill; 3 pounds to the acre. Sow as early in the spring as 
the weather will permit, in rows about 18 inches apart 
and about 1 inch deep, in a deep, rich soil. When the 
plants are about 2 inches tall, thin them out to 3 to 6 
inches apart in the rows. The quality of the roots is im¬ 
proved by leaving them in the ground over winter for 
spring use. Parsnips are valuable for stock feeding as 
well as for table use. If grown on a large scale, make 
the rows wide enough to allow cultivation by horse¬ 
power. 
GUERNSEY HOLLOW CROWN— Half long, smooth, large, 
tender and sweet. One of the best and the only kind 
grown here to any extent. Postpaid: Pkt., 5c; oz., 10c; 
'/ 4 lb., 30c; 1/2 lb., 50c; lb., 90c; 5 lbs., $4.25; 10 lbs., 
$ 8 . 00 . 
Guernsey Hollow Crown 
Peanuts 
Peanuts can be successfully grown in the North on 
warm, sandy soil in a sheltered place with a southern 
exposure. 
Plant the same time as corn, in rows Z/ z feet apart. 
Drop the shelled nuts 8 to 10 inches apart, cover 1 inch 
deep. When the plants are nearly full grown throw earth 
up to them. This will cause the nuts to form. 
PLAIN OR ITALIAN— The leaves of this variety are flat, 
deeply cut but not curled. Very desirable for flavoring 
soups and stews and for drying. It is a favorite on ac¬ 
count of its very dark green leaves as well as its hardi¬ 
ness of plant. The curled sorts are more extensively 
used for garnishing. 
HAMBURG ROOTED— The edible roots resemble small 
parsnips. Is esteemed for flavoring soups, stews, etc. 
Postpaid: Pkt., 5c; oz., 10c; Z 4 lb., 25c; y 2 lb., 40c; 
lb., 75c; 5 lbs., $3.25; 10 lbs., $6.00. 
IMPROVED LARGE VIRGINIA (Jumbo)— It has the largest 
pods and more kernels with fewer imperfect pods than 
any other. Stands erect, easily cultivated. Vines make 
valuable forage for stock. Postpaid; Lb., 35c; 5 lbs.,

well filled, and of fine quality. Postpaid: Lb., 30c; 5
