OLUDW^CROWN PARSNIP. 
This is a highly improved type, producing uniformly large and 
handsome 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 ])ulverized soil, the roots will be smooth and free 
from wrinkles and side roots. The flesh is white, of fine texture, 
free from core and stringiness, and cs]jecially fine-flavored, cook¬ 
ing 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 tliat they can be gotten at 
easily when the ground is frozen. Frost improves their qual¬ 
ity. 'Hiis parsnip is the heaviest cropper of all and we recom¬ 
mend it for ])oth garden and field culture. {^See cut.) Price,

in circumference, and, notwithstanding its immense size it i‘= 
very early and prolific; the stocky, well-branched plants 
about 2 feet high, carry so many peppers that in places the\ 
seem bunched together. The flesh is thick, tender mild 
sweet, and unexcelled when sliced as salad, or for stuffing foi 
mango^. When ripe the surface is of a brilliant gloss\ 
scarlet. (See cut.) Price, 15c. pkt., 76c. oz., $2.60 j lb.
