Rogers Gil bo —New Large Podded Main Crop Peas 
This fine new variety has become one of the most popular sorts of the Midseason Giant group, 
and resembles that variety very closely. Compared to Midseason Giant, Gilbo has the same sturdy 
vine and large yield of big pods, but is a few days earlier in season. Also Gilbo is more hardy so that 
the seed can be sown earlier than Midseason Giant. This is a real advantage. 
The pods are very attractive, to 5 in. long, dark green and pointed and filled with large 
peas of superior quality. We recommend this new variety highly. See prices below.

variety that they can grow. 
These parsnips are snow white and smooth 
with a minimum of side roots or prongs. They 
are hollow crown and of good length, but not 
too long. Their smoothness is quite remark¬ 
able, giving the roots a very attractive appear¬ 
ance so that they usually sell for top prices. 
Our seed is grown from carefully selected 
transplanted roots.
