PARSNIPS 
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. Should be left in the ground until they are 
frozen. 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 1% in. deep. Thin the plants to 4 inches apart. 
HARRIS MODEL. The Smocthest and Whitest Parsnip. 
[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 parsnips. 
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 on our own farm. You will find these 
very superior parsnips. 
Pkt. 10c; Oz. 25c; 14 Lb. 55c; Lb. $1.75. 
LONG HOLLOW CROWN. Long, smooth and straight, and of good 
quality. We have a fine strain of this popular variety. 
Pkt. 10c; Oz. 20c; 14 Lb. 45c; Lb. $1.40. 
PARSLEY 
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. The Best Parsley. Outstanding for the uniformity of 
its fine curled dark leaves. The stems are only a little shorter than 
Champion and the leaves are even more finely curled. The color is most 
attractive, a rich deep green and there are no flat leaves. Altogether this 
is a superb variety for the home garden as well as for market and forcing. 
Pkt. 10c; Oz. 15c; 14 Lb. 35c; Lb. $1.10. 
CHAMPION or Triple Moss Curled. This is a rapid growing kind and 
an exceptionally good all round parsley. Very finely curled leaves. Med- 
ium deep green, of upright growth with good stems. We recommend 
this variety very highly. 
Pkt. 10c; Oz. 15c; 144 Lb. 30c; Lb. $1.00. 
Plain. The leaves are not curled. Used for flavoring. 
Pkt. 10c; Oz. 15c; 44 Lb. 30c; Lb. 80c. 
PARSLEY FOR ROOTS 
HAMBURG. Long or Parsnip Rooted. The roots are used and when 
boiled and served like parsnips have a very pleasing 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, thick roots from 5 to 6 in. long, and large 
around. 
Pkt. 10c; Oz. 15¢; 44 Lb. 30c; Lb. 90c.

OKRA or Gumbo 
A packet of seed will sow 15 feet of row; an ounce 50 feet. 
Used principally 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 24% feet apart and thin to 15 inches. 
PERKINS LONG POD. This is the standard 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; 144 Lb. 25c; Lb. 60c. 
Peanuts 
Peanuts can be successfully grown in the 
Northona warm, sandy soilina 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% 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; 14 Lb. 25c; Lb. 40c; 5 Lbs. or more 35c per Lb.
