NORTHRUP, KING & CO.’S VEGETABLE AND FLOWER SEEDS 



PARSLEY 



Dark Moss Curled Parsley 
Dark Moss Curled 70 days 
This is a vigorous growing, compact, 
productive sort. Leaves are very dark green 
in color, finely cut and so thickly curled that 
a plant resembles a bunch of moss. A home 
and market garden variety, excellent for 
garnishing and decoration. 
Paramount 85 days 
A triple curled type recently introduced. 
A slow growing, tall plant, very dark green 
and with stout stems for bunching. Some- 
what resistant to tip-burn. 
Plain or Single ;2a0ays 
Also known as Hardy Italian. Plain leaves 
of excellent flavor. A heavy producer 
throughout the season. Excellent for sea- 
soning but not so attractive for garnishing 
as the moss or curled leaf varieties. 
Turnip Rooted 90 days 
Also known as Hamburg or German. 
Edible roots resemble small parsnips and it 
is esteemed for flavoring soups, stews, etc. 
Leaves are plain. 
PARSNIP 
All America 95 days 
A new variety of considerable merit. Col- 
or is whiter than Hollow Crown. Roots 10 
to 12 inch, good shoulder and deep hollow 
crown. 
Harris Early Model 95 days 
In comparison to Improved Hollow Crown 
it is whiter in color, slightly longer, not 
quite as thick in shoulder and more evenly 
tapered. Almost free of side roots. Crown 
distinctly hollow. Quality very good. 
Improved Hollow Crown or 
Guernsey 95 days 
The standard variety. Long white roots, 
tender, sugary. Roots 12 to 15 in. long, 3 in. 
thick at shoulder. Tapered and smooth. 
PEAS 
ARDEN PEAS is another item which we grow extensively. In Idaho, not far from our 
Bean fields, we contract and supervise the growing of thousands of acres of peas, 
each tract being produced from our own stock seed. Our own experts live in these areas 
and devote all of their time—during the planting, growing, harvesting and shipping peri- 
ods—to the production of finest quality stocks. The climate and soil of Idaho are highly 
satisfactory for the growing of both bean and pea seed. 
The maturity dates listed after the variety names are based on the Minnesota grow- 
ing season. They are given here for making comparisons as to the earliness or lateness.
