B258 Danver's Half Long Thf s y 1s 
one of the old standard varieties. It is much 
like the Sonderegger's Improved Half Long,

both for the market and for home use. Pack¬

B254 Sonderegger's New Scarlet 
(70 days)

rot I find to be of the very best table quality, and of good size 
and color. It is the best large carrot I have; is not quite as 
large as the old fashioned Long Orange, but it is earlier, and 
of finer quality. It is one of the best second early and main 
crop carrots. I plant them for winter use; they are good 
keepers. Be sure to include Sonderegger’s New Scarlet in your 
planting this year, you will be well pleased with it. Packet, 10c;

Grows to a large 
size, in fact it is 
the largest carrot I am listing. Quality is fair 
for table use, but not fine grained. Therefore 
grown mostly for feed, it is a heavy yielder 
and will produce large quantities of feed for 
rabbits and other stock. Packet, 5c; oz., 10c;

Salsify or Oyster PARSNIPS 
Garden Favorite 
Plant 
B586 
Perfectly hardy and may re¬ 
main out all winter. Cul¬ 
ture same as of Carrots. For 
winter use store a quantity 
of the roots in the cellar. 
Sow 1 oz. of seed for a 50-ft. 
drill and thin out to 4 inches 
apart in the row. The root 
resembles a small parsnip. 
When thinly sliced and 
cooked it is a good substitute 
for oysters, having a very 
similar flavor. Can also be 
cooked and prepared same as 
Asparagus. Makes a most 
delicious vegetable dish. If 
you have never tried Salsify 
before in your garden I urge 
you to sow a packet of it. 
You will be well pleased with 
Salsify as a fine vegetable. 
Packet, 5c; oz., 15c; V4 lb.. 
50c; lb., $1.65; postpaid. 
One ounce will sow 200 feet of drill; five pounds for one acre. Sow early in 
the spring in drills fifteen inches apart, covering half of an inch deep. When 
well up, thin out to 5 or 6 inches apart in the rows. They remain in the 
garden throughout the summer and are improved in quality by frost. Take up 
in the fall a quantity for winter use. 
(85 days) The roots are thick; however. 
DflOU improvea Guernsey they are not as long as those of the 
Hollow Crown. The quality of this Parsnip is excellent, the root is smooth, 
and fine grained. For home use or for market I can highly recommend the 
Improved Guernsey Parsnip. Packet, 5c; oz., 10c; V4 lb., 25c; lb., 85c; postpaid. 
B482 
Hollow Crown 
or Long Smooth 
(85 days) Of this variety 
the roots are long, end¬ 
ing somewhat abruptly 
with a tap root. This is 
a very popular Parsnip 
variety that will do well 
most anywhere. Packet, 
5c; oz., 12c; Vi lb., 25c; 
lb., 85c; postpaid. 
For Fall sowing I can fill 
your order any time dur¬ 
ing the summer with 
fresh tested seeds. 
= - = PLANTING INSTRUCTIONS - = 
Carrots, Salsify and Parsnips will grow well in most any soil; however, a sandy loam is best. Sow as early as the ground can be 
worked and is warmed up. Sow in rows, the rows 15 to 18 inches apart covering carrots about i/ 2 -inch deep, Parsnips about 1- 
inch deep. Thin out as soon as the plants are several inches high. Carrots should stand about 1>/ 2 to 2 inches apart; Parsnips 
and Salsify about 2 or 3 inches apart. Cultivate occasionally in order to keep the soil loose and free from weeds. For field 
culture on a large scale sow in drills, 18 to 24 inches apart. One ounce of seed will sow 100 feet of drill, 3 to 4 pounds to the acre 
Always order by number—this insures prompt and accurate delivery.
