Model."

Pelersilie (Ger.) PARSLEY Prezzemeolo (It.) 
A packet will sow 50 feet of row; an ounce 200 feet. 
Parsley takes up very little room in the garden and is always appre¬ 
ciated for garnishing and flavoring. A short row of the Hamburg for roots 
will add immeasurably to the flavor of soups and stews, besides being a 
delicious vegetable when cooked alone. 
Sow in the spring or summer where the plants can be left until the 
following spring. Some plants can be transplanted into boxes of earth and 
kept in a light cellar or kitchen window for winter use. 
PARAMOUNT. (New.) The Best Parsley. The outstanding All-Ameri¬ 
can Selection for 1935 and has never been surpassed for uniformity of 
fine curled dark leaves. The stems are only a li ttle shorter than Dwarf 
Perfection. This is a fine variety for the home garden as well as for 
market and forcing crops.

DWARF PERFECTION. The plant is of semi-dwarf habit, very com¬ 
pact but with good stems. The leaves are very finely cut and curled and a 
beautiful dark green color. This strain grows more rapidly than Para¬ 
mount and is one of the best. It is used largely for frame and open 
ground growing.

HAMBURG, Long or Parsnip Rooted. The roots are used as well as 
the leaves and when boiled and served like parsnips have a very pleas¬ 
ing flavor. They are also valuable to add flavor to soups and stews. 
They can be stored in sand and used all winter. We offer an improved 
market gardeners’ strain which has uniformly smooth roots from 5 
to 6 in. long, and large around.

PARSNIPS 
Pastinaca (It.) 
A packet of seed will sow about 25 feet of row; an ounce 150 feet. 
This fine vegetable should be in every home garden. A few rows will 
supply the needs of a family. The roots can be dug and stored in a pit 
outdoors or in moist dirt in a cool cellar and will supply a welcome addi¬ 
tion to the winter vegetables. Try some “French fried” parsnips, they 
are delicious. Sow seed in May in rows 2 feet apart in finely pulverized 
soil and cover the seed only }4 in. deep. Thin the plants to 4 inches apart. 
HARRIS MODEL. T hc Smoothest and Whitest Parsnip. 
-1 These parsnips are medium length, very 
smooth, and remarkably free from small roots or prongs. Harris’ Model 
has a well deserved reputation of being whiter than any other par¬ 
snips. This and their smoothness make them very attractive for the 
home garden and more saleable in the market. Our seed is carefully 
grown from selected transplanted roots. You will find these very 
superior parsnips. 
Pkt. 10c; Oz. 20c; M Lb. 45c; Lb. $1.40. 
LONG HOLLOW CROWN. Long, smooth and straight, and of good 
quality. We have a fine strain of this popular variety. 
Pkt. 10c; Oz. 15c; J4 Lb. 30c; Lb. 85c. 
Ocher (Ger.) OkrO Or Gumbo Ocra (It.) 
A packet of seed will sow 15 feet of row; an ounce 50 feet. 
Used for thickening and flavoring soup. The pods contain a large 
amount of gum, which imparts a thickness and softness as well as flavor 
to the soup. It is also used as a vegetable. The pods should be picked 
when they are small and tender. Sow in the open ground when the ground 
is thoroughly warm, in this latitude about the middle of May and not 
later than June 15th. Sow in rows 234 feet apart and thin to 15 inches. 
PERKINS LONG POD. This is the best variety and the kind used 
exclusively by the soup canners. The plant is tall and very prolific. The 
pods are a deep green color somewhat ribbed or corrugated and of the 
finest quality. Pick when young (not over 2 to 3 inches long). 
Pkt. 10c; Oz. 15c; M Lb. 25c; Lb. 70c. 
Peanuts 
Peanuts can be successfully grown in the 
Nort h on warm, sandy soil in a sheltered place 
with a southern exposure. South of Pennsyl¬ 
vania they can be grown on any good light soil. 
Plant the same time as corn, in rows 2)4 ft. 
apart. Drop the shelled nuts 8 to 10 in. apart, 
cover 1 in. deep. When the plants are nearly 
full grown throw earth up to them. This will cause more nuts to form. 
EARLY SPANISH. The Earliest Kind. These are not large peanuts 
but are the earliest variety and very prolific. This is decidedly the best 
kind for planting in the North. 
Pkt. 10c; )4 Lb. 25c; Lb. 40c; 5 Lbs. or more 35c per Lb.
