Dear Sirs: 
Am sending for another seed collection for the 
4th year. I have never won a prize but I feel that I 
was a winner, because my gardens were so good, 
every seed grew. I canned 400 quarts of vegetables, 
sold lots, and we ate from our garden until frost.

PARSNIP 
PARSNIP 

CULTURE: Plant as early in the spring as the 
weather will permit. 14 inch deep in a rich, deeply 
worked, sandy loam, and when 2 inches high thin 
out to 4 inches apart. Parsnips germinate slowly, 
especially in dry weather; Parsnips are improved 
by frost, so.they can be dug as wanted, or stored 
for winter use. 
SHORT THICK: This square stump rooted par- 
snip is much easier to harvest than any other kind 
as they grow only about 8 inches long. They are 
very early, maturing in about 85 days. The sweet 
tender roots are very smooth and white. They are 
delicious fried or stewed.

GUERNSEY IMPROVED HALF-LONG: The 
roots do not grow so long as the Hollow Crown,

ered. The roots are very smooth; the flesh is fine 
grained and of excellent quality.

to raise and are delicious in chile, catsup, salads, 
or stuffed and baked.

CALIFORNIA WONDER 

PEANUTS ~ 
SOUTH DAKOTA GROWN: Peanuts are easy 
to grow, easy to roast, and easy to eat. If you 
don’t think so, take a pan of your home grown 
peanuts, put them in the oven for about 30 min- 
utes and eat them while they are still hot. Good! 
Of course, they are good, and that is a good way 
to pass some of the long winter evenings. 
We have been growing peanuts in South Dakota 
for a long time, and the variety we are offering is 
early enough to get ripe in a normal season. 
Peanuts will stand lots of dry weather and still 
yield an immense crop of delicious nuts. Plan on 
planting some peanuts for the children. 
With each order for peanuts, we will enclose a 
bulletin giving full instructions for planting and 
care.

GURNEY’S EARLY BEAUTY: This extra early 
pepper has made THE BEST RECORD of any 
pepper in our trial gardens FOR THE LAST 
THREE YEARS. It is the earliest of the large 
sweet Peppers. The plants are weighted down with 
the short, broad, thick walled fruit. JUST THE 
RIGHT SIZE AND SHAPE FOR STUFFING, 
They are also delicious in chow chow, salads, and 
pickles. They are four lobed, about as wide as 
they are long and one of the smoothest peppers we 
have ever raised. The only pepper with thicker 
side walls is California Wonder, which is about 
three weeks later than our Early Beauty. 
For an immense crop of early, sweet, smooth, 
thick meated peppers, plant Gurney’s Early 
Beauty.
