Champion Moss Curled 
or Triple Curled—70

growing, compact, pro- 
ductive sort. The leaves 
are dark green in color, 
finely cut and so thickly 
curled that a plant resem- 
bles a bunch of moss. 
Most desirable sort for 
garnishing and decorating. 
Best Parsley for all pur- 
poses. 
Paramount — “All- 
America”’ Silver Medal 
Winner in 1936. Of triple 
curled, uniform, dark

quality likely to supersede 
the older varieties. 
Hamburg Parsnip 
Rooted—99 Days. This 
variety is raised for its 
roots. Although the leaves 
are similar to the Plain 
Parsley, they are not 
recommended for garnish- 
ing, owing to the long 
period of growth before 
coming to maturity. The 
roots can be used for 
flavoring soup and stews 
when fresh, or can be 
stored like other roots and 
used for Winter.
