VEGETABLE SEEDS 
PARSLEY 
14 ox. to 100 ft., 3 to 4 lbs. per acre. 
Parsley seed is even slower than parsnip in germinating. 
It grows best in rich mellow soil and should be sown as early 
as possible in spring in rows 1 to 2 feet apart with a covering 
of not more than % inch of soil firmly pressed down. When 
the plants are well up, thin them 8 to 12 inches apart in the 
row. Pkt. 5c; oz. 15c; 14 lb. 30c. 
Extra Triple Curled (Moss Curled). This vigorous compact 
grower is one of the most popular varieties because of its 
deep green color and tightly curled leaves that look like moss. 
It is unusually decorative for table use. 
Hamburg, Thick Rooted. The root of this variety is edible 
and resembles a slender Parsnip in color and shape. The 
flesh is white, dry, and similar to Celeriac in flavor. It is used 
for flavoring soups and stews. The roots may be stored in sand 
for Winter use. 
RADISH 
1 oz. to 100 ft., 10 to 12 lbs. per acre. 
For an early crop, sow in hotbed in January, February and 
March. As soon as ground is fit to be worked, sow seed in 
the open, in rows 1 foot apart. Pkt. 5c; 1 oz. 10c; 14 lb. 25c; 
1 lb. 75c. 
Black Spanish Long. A hardy, large, rather pungent variety 
for winter use. Keeps unusually well; is 8 to 9 inches long 
and 2 inches thick, slightly tapered. The skin is black and the 
flesh white and crisp. 
Crimson Giant Turnip. Twice as large as any other turnip- 
shape variety; does not get hollow or pithy; flesh white, solid, 
crisp and mild flavor. 
Early Scarlet Globe. Very popular for both forcing and out¬ 
door culture. It is of very quick growth, bright scarlet color, 
and of very crisp mild flavor. 
Early Scarlet Turnip—White Tip. This variety grows very 
quickly and is ready for picking in 25 to 30 days. Scarlet in 
color, turnip shaped, very crisp and of excellent flavor. One 
of the best varieties for the home gardener. 
French Breakfast. A splendid variety for home use; oblong, 
bright scarlet, white tip. Grows about 1(4 inches long and % 
inch thick 
Long White Icicle. Long slender roots which remain tender 
and crisp until grown. Matures early; has small top which 
permits close planting. 
SPINACH 
114 ox. to 100 ft., 10 to 20 lbs. per acre. 
Sow in rows 16 to 20 inches apart and thin to 6 inches apart 
in the row when leaves are an inch wide. In the North, seed 
can be planted as soon as the ground can be prepared. In the 
South, Spinach will Winter over with little or no protection. 
Pkt. 5c; 1 oz. 10c; 14 lb. 20c; 1 lb. 50c. 
Broadleaf Prickly. A splendid fall or winter sort, also does 
well planted in the spring. Quick growing, with large dark 
green leaves. The favorite with market gardeners for winter 
planting. We have no hesitation in recommending this as the 
main crop spinach. 
Long-Standing Bloomsdale. An early, hardy Spinach of attrac¬ 
tive appearance. The dark glossy green leaves are heavily 
crumpled and savoyed. It combines all the good qualities of 
the best Savoy strain with remarkable long-standing proper¬ 
ties. Will remain in perfect condition two weeks longer than 
other Savoy strains. Very uniform and almost entirely de¬ 
pendable. 
Nobel (Giant Thick Leaved). A recent introduction and the 
best of the round seeded thick leaved varieties. Heavy yield¬ 
ing. leaves very large, thick, broad, smooth and deep green in 
color. We recommend “Nobel” for either home, market gar¬ 
den or canning use. 
New Zealand. Although not a true Spinach, the leaves look 
like Spinach and are very useful as greens. On soil too poor to 
grow Spinach successfully, the plants thrive and produce 
groups of small fleshy leaves that are tender and delicious 
when cooked. Each branch of the plant produces others, so 
that it goes on providing a continuous supply of greens 
throughout the Summer.
