Above is a field of our New No. 10 Parsnip grown on our own 
farms, together with a bushel of stock roots. Note color, shape, 
and hollow crown. 
Parsnip, New No. 10 
We have taken a few roots of our Philadelphia Hollow-Crown Parsnip and developed 
them into what we call a No. 10 strain. We do not see where anything more can be done to 
this fine strain to make it better. The seed is grown on our farms, and we use every care 
and precaution to make this the best type of Parsnip ever put out. It is necessary, we 
believe, to have just as small a core as possible in Parsnips. This eliminates a certain amount 
of toughness when cooked. We cannot recommend this too highly. 
Pkt. 10 cts.; oz. 25 cts.; 141b. 80 cts.; lb. $2.75; 10 lbs. $25 
Hollow- Crown 
Philadelphia County has always been noted for some extra selections of Hollow-Crown 
Parsnips. We have taken hold of these special strains and developed them into what we 
believe to be a real genuine sort, medium length and smooth, that is, very few fibers. The 
color is the whitest that it is possible to produce. We grow our own stock seed of this sort and 
would recommend using it if you wish to produce a fancy package of Parsnips. 
Pkt. 10 cts.; 0z. 20 cts.; 4lb. 45 cts.; Ib. $1.50; 10 Ibs. $14
