Q A n f I One ounce will sow about 
■ 150 feet of drill 
The leaves of Parsley are used for garnishing and flavoring. Seed re¬ 
sembles that of celery, but larger and dark grayish green. After soaking for a 
few hours in tepid water to hasten germination, sow in rich, mellow soil, in 
drills 1 foot apart and Yi inch deep. Thin out the young plants to 4 inches 
apart. Give Hamburg Parsley the same culture as carrots. 
\ CHAMPION MOSS CURLED. The dark green leaves are very finely 
\ curled, making it very attractive for garnishing or for border planting.

about 1000 plants 
Hamburg or Rooted Parsley 
HAMBURG or ROOTED. The roots of this variety are used in flavoring 
soups and stews. 
PLAIN. A deep-cut, non-curled leaf Parsley, more aromatic than curled 
varieties, and therefore used more for flavoring or for drying than for 
garnishing. 
Q A A CkJlDC One ounce will sow about 
rMRdllirj 200 feet of drill 
Parsnips thrive in rich soil, deeply dug. Seed flat, thin, round, greenish 
yellow, Y to ^ inch in diameter. Sow Yi inch deep, in drills 18 inches apart, 
as soon as the ground can be worked. The roots are improved by frost, and 
as they are very hardy, may be allowed to remain in the ground all winter. 
IMPROVED HOLLOW-CROWN. The roots are of medium length, with 
a broad shoulder which gradually tapers downward. The skin is white, 
smooth, and attractive, and the flesh is sweet, fine grained, and tender. Good 
for table use or stock feeding. 
BULLNOSE (Large Bell). The fruits of this early, prolific variety 
sometimes reach a length of 3 to 4 inches. The flesh is thick, solid, and 
milder and sweeter than most other sorts. Fine for stuffing. 
CALIFORNIA WONDER. Earlier than Chinese Giant, with fruits 
as large and of equal quality, but thicker fleshed and not as deeply 
indented. Flavor is sweet and mild. Plants are vigorous and produce a 
heavy yield of fruits uniform in shape and size. Is also a good shipper. 
An unexcelled variety. 
CHINESE GIANT. The largest Pepper in cultivation, averaging 
12 to 15 inches in circumference. The flesh is sweet, very tender, and 
thick; fine for stuffing. Brilliant scarlet when ripe; profuse bearer. 
California Wonder Pepper 
Pepper seed is light yellow, about shape of tomato seed, but flat, hard, 
and about Y inch in diameter. It may be sown in the hotbed in March or 
April, and later transplanted to 3-inch pots until the ground is warm enough 
to permit of setting in the garden. Set plants 3 inches deeper than they were 
in the pots and 2 feet by 18 inches apart in the drill. Sow seed outdoors 
after all danger of frost is past, four or five seeds to the hill, and at 
distances above given. Thin to one plant when well up. 
Ruby King Pepper 
HARRIS’ EARLY GIANT. The best of the large Peppers and one of 
the earliest. Very prolific; dwarf, compact growth. Scarlet fruit grow¬ 
ing to 5 inches in length by 3 Y inches in diameter; three-Iobed, mild,
