These Model Parsnips will be carefully sorted and 

Use the young pods as a vegetable 
or for ‘'gumbo”’ soups. 
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 21% feet apart and thin to 15 inches. 
597 PERKINS LONG POD. This is the standard variety and the kind 
used 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).

Peanuts 
Peanuts can be successfully grown in 
the North on a warm, sandy soil in a 
sheltered place with a southern exposure. 
South of Pennsylvania they can be grown 
on any good light soil. 
Plant after danger of frost, in rows 214% 
ft. apart. If in hulls, space them about 8 in. apart in the row, or plant 
the shelled nuts 3 to 6 in. apart. Cover about 11% in. deep. The pods or 
nuts are borne on flower stalks but are formed underground. Before 
frost in the fall, pull the entire vine and hang in an open shed to cure. 
647 EARLY SPANISH. The Earliest Kind. These are not large pea- 
nuts but are the earliest variety and very prolific. This is decidedly the 
best kind for planting in the North. 
Pkt. 15c; 4% Lb. 40c; Lb. 75c; 5 Lbs. or more 65c per Lb. 
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 
not more than \% in. deep. Thin the plants to 4 inches apart. 
640 HARRIS’ MODEL. The Smoothest and Whitest Pars- 
nip. These parsnips are medium length, 
very smooth, and remarkably free from small roots or prongs. Harris’ 
Model has a well deserved reputation for 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. 75c. 
642 LONG HOLLOW CROWN. Long, smooth and straight, and of 
good quality. We have a fine strain of this popular variety. 
Pkt. 10c; Oz. 20c; 44 Lb. 65c.

Paramount Parsley 
Every leaf dark green and finely curled. 
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. 
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. 
635 PARAMOUNT. The Best Parsley. Produces the most attractive 
and finest curled parsley we have ever seen, and absolutely uniform. 
The color is a beautiful rich deep green and there are no flat leaves. The 
Plants are dwarf and compact. This is a superb variety for the home 
garden as well as for market and forcing. 
Pkt. 15c; Oz. 30c; 14 Lb. 85c. 
631 CHAMPION or Triple Moss Curled. This is a rapid growing kind 
and a very good all round parsley. The leaves are well curled, medium 
green in color and of upright growth with good stems. 
Pkt. 10c; Oz. 20c; 14 Lb. 65c. 
637 PERFECTION. An excellent vigorous parsley with very finely curled 
leaves. The color is deep emerald green and most attractive. Grows 
more rapidly than Paramount and makes larger, more upright plants 
with longer stems, and is preferred by many growers for this reason. 
Highly recommended for both market and home gardeners. 
Pkt. 10c; Oz. 25c; 14 Lb. 75c. 
638 PLAIN. The leaves are not curled. Used for flavoring. 
Pkt. 10c; Oz. 20c; 14 Lb. 65ce. 
Parsley For Roots 
633 HAMBURG. Long or Parsnip-Rooted. The roots are used, and 
when boiled and served like parsnips, they 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 with uniformly smooth, thick roots 5 to 6 in. long. 
Pkt. 10c; Oz. 20c; 14 Lb. 65c.
