believe in putting their eggs all in one basket. They have devel- 
oped a wonderful winter business on our Harris Model parsnips. 
It takes special storage to hold parsnips through the winter but

“You may be interested to know that your Little Marvel peas 
proved very satisfactory. They were of excellent quality and 
came on the table June 18. For this locality it is indeed a marvel 
to have peas so early.”
