ONION SETS 
Yellow Onion Sets. — 20c per lb., postpaid. 
E. or F., 15c lb.; 10 lbs. or more at 13c. 
Bottle Onion Sets — We tried these out last 
spring and consider them by far the best sets 
for green onions. The sets are extra long and 
so produce more white meat to the green onion. 
They are much larger than the common variety 
and the onions are very mild and sweet. Our 
stock is limited. 
Lb., 30c, postpaid. E. or F., lb., 25c. 10 
lbs. or more at 20c per lb. 
PARSNIPS 
Culture same as carrots, except time of 
planting, which should be about May 1st. 
‘Gill’s Tender Heart. — This strain is de¬ 
veloped from seed we received over twenty- 
five years ago from an old resident in Portland, 
which proved so far superior to any other that 
we have never ran out of the seed, but have been 
selecting from the best from year to year. Un¬ 
like other parsnips the heart is tender, never 
tough; roots are smooth, hollow crown, thick 
and heavy at the top, tapering abruptly, mak¬ 
ing it easy to dig. We have the exclusive seed 
of this champion garden or market parsnip. 
Do not fail to try this parsnip, for it is unex¬ 
celled anywhere. 
Pkt., 5c; oz., 10c; 34 lb-. 20c; lb., 60c, postpaid. 
‘Gill’s Success—Longer roots than the 
Tender Heart variety and better adapted to 
market purposes, as it is not so thick at the 
crown and will bunch better. The smooth, 
white roots cook tender and sweet. 
Pkt., 5c; oz., 15c; 34 lb., 25c; lb., 75c. 
PEAS 
Note Our New Plan.—34 lb. of peas for the packet price, except on novelties. Applies on 
third zone and under, over that we send 2 oz. for pkts. 
Culture.—Plant as early as the ground can be worked in the Spring. Peas will not reach per¬ 
fection if planted after May 1st, although they will make a fair crop. They should be well rooted 
before warm weather begins. If planted during February and March they will mature before the 
aphis get started. 
‘Early Morn. — The best early pea and fast 
becoming the market favorite. The earliest of 
the wrinkled peas; ahead of either Gradus or 
Thomas Laxton. The size of the pods is enor¬ 
mous for such an early pea, many pods contain¬ 
ing eight to ten peas. Exceptionally heavy 
yielder and vigorous, growing three to four feet 
high. The money-maker in peas. 
Imagine pods as large as Telephone peas and 
a few days ahead of Gradus. Those who plant¬ 
ed this pea last year were surprised and are 
loud in their praise for it. The peas are dark 
green, large and of the finest flavor. 
Pkt., 2 oz., 10c; 34 lb., 15c; lb., 25c. E. or 
F., lb., 20c; 5 lbs. at 18c lb.

is too well known to need description. A dwarf 
early growing pea; very productive and sweet 
as sugar in flavor. True seed.

5 lbs. at 15c lb. 
‘Surprise. New. Positively the earliest 
wrinkled pea; fully as early as Alaska. Vines 
2 feet, pods about the size of American Wonder 
and fully as sweet flavored as that variety. Be¬ 
yond question the earliest and most profitable 
pea. 2-oz. pkt., 10c; 34 lb., 15c; lb., 30c; E. or
