477 White Lisbon A Favorite Home and Market Sort This grand parsnip, from Portugal, has proven to be a striking and attrac- tive novelty. Grown ex- tensively by our market gardener friends, to their great satisfaction. The shape is well shown in illustration (one-half nat- ural size). It is remark- ably free from side roots; in fact, in this respect is about the cleanest of all parsnips. It is fine grained and of superior flavor, and if it had not been named White Lisbon might well be called an Improved Hollow Crown. Its hand- some appearance would attract attention any- where, and we are very sure it will give the best of satisfaction to all our customers who try it. Pkt., 10 cts.; oz., 15 cts.; 14 lb., 40 cts.; lb., S1.35. 478 Improved Half Long We consider this the best parsnip for market gar- dener or amateur. The root is smooth, and the flesh fine grained and of excellent flavor. It is a heavy cropper. Being larger in diameter and shorter than the Long Smooth, it is harvested with less labor. Excellent for stock as well as for the table. Packet, 10 cts.; ounce, 15 cts.; M pound, 30 cts.; pound, 90 cts. 4»z Improved Long Smooth This is the same as Hol- low Crown or Improved Long Sugar. A highly improved type, producing uniform large and hand- some roots of stocky form, heavy at the shoulder, well rounded, gradually tapering to the base. Flesh white, of fine texture, free from core and stringiness, fine flavored. Cooking tender; sweet and rich; enormously productive and exceptionally smooth, with a full crown, so that it keeps in the ground over winter if necessary without protection. Re- commended for both gar- den or fleld cultm-e. Ptt., 5 cts.; oz., 10 cts.; !4 lb., 35 cts.; lb., 75 cts.
