Perejil 
Petroselinum hortense 
Parsley has been used as a garnish since the days of the early Greeks. The leaves 
are also used for flavoring in soups and salads. 
A rich fertile soil well supplied with nitrogen organic matter and plenty of moisture 
is desirable. Medium sized roots can be potted for the kitchen window. Leaves may be 
dried and kept for winter use. 
HAMBURG (Edible Root) P.h. var. radicosum PACHA 90 
This parsley forms a thick parsnip-like root which is used for flavoring in 
soups, etc. If so desired, these roots may be stored for winter use, the same 
as other root crops of this nature. Leaves are flat and deeply cut, resembling 
the plain variety. 
MOSS CURLED or Double Curled or Triple Curled PAGAN 70 
Unsurpassed for decorative garnishing purposes. This variety produces a com- 
pact growth of very rich, dark green leaves, which are extremely curled and 
finely cut, giving an appearance of moss; hence the name. 
PLAIN PAINT 75 
Desirable for its aromatic and flavoring qualities in soups, etc. The plant is a 
heavy yielder of smooth, dark green, deeply cut leaves. 
Panai Pastinac: 
Paatinadice PARSNIP Chirivia ; 
Pastinaca sativa 
The parsnip has been cultivated since about the time of the Christian Era. Plant in 
the early spring, as they will stand some frost. Allow to grow all summer and harvest in 
the late fall or winter. The roots are not injured by freezing. When kept near freezing, 
the starch in the roots changes to sugar and improves the quality. 
HOLLOW CROWN or Ideal or Guernsey or Model HMS PALMY 125 
One of the best and most popular varieties. Hardy, a vigorous grower, and 
highly dependable. Superb, sugary flavor; good quality. 
ROOTS—About 12 inches long, 3 inches in diameter at the shoulder, tapered 
to a point, smooth, hollow crowned, white; flesh fine textured, tender. 
Pina PEAS chit, 
Erbsen 
Pisum sativum 
The importance of peas as a food is emphasized when we realize how extensively they 
are grown and how often they appear on our menu. It is a tremendous responsibility 
upon the seedsmen to have available sufficient quantities of seed, true to variety and 
bred to produce a profitable crop in a given locality, for a definite purpose, whether it be 
for the gardener, shipper, canner or freezer. 
In accepting our share of the responsibility we constantly carry on a perpetual breeding 
program to improve, instill disease resistance, and develop new varieties to meet the ever 
changing demand. The carefully chosen production areas for our Keystone Seed Peas 
is indicative of their excellent quality. 
Peas are a cool season crop. Best performance will be obtained when they are planted 
as early as weather conditions will permit and on soil of high fertility. 
Additional information as to sieve size and heat unit requirements will be furnished 
upon request.
