Ho”! Parsnip 
This is a highly improved type, 
producing uniformly large and hand¬ 
some roots of stocky form, heavy at 
the shoulder, well rounded, gradually 
tapering to the base, so that they are 
easily dug, and if grown in properly pul¬ 
verized soil, the roots will be smooth and 
unusually free from wrinkles and side 
roots. The flesh is white, of fine texture, 
free from core and stringiness, and espe¬ 
cially fine-flavored; cooking tender, sweet 
and "rich, rendering it one of the finest of 
table vegetables for winter use. The roots 
may remain in the ground all winter, being 
hardy, or some may be dug late in the fall 
and stored in sand or soil, so that they can 
be gotten at easily when the ground is 
frozen. Frost improves their quality. This 
parsnip is the heaviest cropper of all and 
we recommend it for both garden and field 
culture. (See cut.) Price, 5c. pkt., 10c.

CHINESE GIANT PEPPER 
Henderson’s Emerald Parsley 
A distinct and handsome variety of quick, robust growth, 
forming compact, ornamental plants, densely furnished with 
strong-stemmed giant leaves, finely cut, most beautifully curled 
and crimped, and of that brilliant, deep emerald-green color so 
highly attractive when used for garnishing. The flavor of the 
leaves is also unusually rich and aromatic, rendering this va¬ 
riety of especial value where used for flavoring, in sauces, dressing, 
etc., either when fresh or dried. (See cut.) Price, 10c. pkt., 
15c. oz., 30c. i lb., 90c. lb. 
This monstrous fruiting variety averages 12 to 15 inches 
in circumference, and, notwithstanding its immense size, it is 
very early and prolific; the stocky, well-branched plants, 
about 2 feet high, carry so many peppers that in places they 
seemed bunched together. The flesh is thick, tender, mild, 
sweet, and unexcelled when sliced as salad, or for stuffing 
for “mangoes.” When ripe the surface is of a brilliant var¬ 
nished scarlet. (See cut.) Price, 10c. pkt., 60c. oz., $1.75 
} lb., $6.00 lb.

early*. The peppers average 5 to 6 inches long by 9 to 10 
inches in girth; color, glossy ruby-crimson when ripe; flesh, 
thick, mild and sweet. Price, 10c. pkt., 30c. oz., $1.00 1 lb.,
