MARKET GARDENERS' BEST TRIPLE
CURLED PARSLEY.-y.ietiiiie.
One ounce will sow 100 feet of drill. Six pounds to the acre.
The best points yet obtained in Parsley have certainly been
reached in this sort. The plant is of a very robust and free growth,
and is greatly improved by severe cutting. The leaves are large and
beautifully curled and of a very dark green. It sttuids tfieheat, drought
and cold better and will yield double that of any other sort. The
whole appeiirance of the plant is very handsome and it certainly is

• • tlie Parsley for either the market or family garden.'
    

Packets, 5c. and 10c. J pound, 15c. \ pound, 25c. Pound, 50c.
Culture. — Sow thinly in shallow drills at any time. Cover the
beds with straw in winter and fresh Parsley can be had whenever
wanted.
PARSNIP. '^""'^
Tafiinafc.
ne ounce will sow 100 feet of drill. Eight pounds required to the acre.
Hollow Crow^u Sugar Parsnip. — Is the best bred and handsomest
Parsnip ; it is half long, wedge shaped, hollow crowned and very broad at
the shoulders, easily taken out of the ground and producing more tons to
the acre than the longer and slim varieties.
Packets, 5c. and 10c. Quarter pound, 15c. Half pound, 25c. Pound, 40c.
Culture. — Deep, mellow soil is necessary for the full development of the
Hollow Crown Parsnip. Sow as early in the Spring as the weather will
permit, in drills fifteen inches apart, covering the seed ; when well up thin
out to five or six inches apart in the rows. Parsnips are improved by frost,
and it is a usual custom to take up in the Fall a oertain quantity for Winter
use, leaving the rest in the ground until Spring, to be dug up as required.
Aside from the value of the Parsnip as a table vegetable, it is also one of the
best roots for farm purposes, furnishing a very nourishing food particularly
adapted to and relished J?^ dairy stock.

REEN OKRA,
Dfra, cbcr ©umbo.
TEN POUNDS TO THE ACRE.
Dwart Green Prolific Okra or Gumbo.— This vegetable is too
ittle grown ; as its green pods impart a fine flavor and consistency to soups
and stews, besides being very palatable when stewed and served as a dish of
Asparagus. The pods can also be dried for Winter. It is universally used
throughout the South and is as easily raised as a weed in the North. So delic-
ious is the flavor, that when once used it will be grown every year, in North-
ern as well as Southern gardens. Packet, 5c. Ounce, 10c. Quarter pound,
15c. Half iDOund, 25c. Pound. 40c.

MUSHROOM SPAWN.
Mushrooms may be grown in any dark room or cellar where the temperature
can be kept at from 50 to 60 degrees. Procure soil from an old pasture and
thoroughly mix it with fresh horse manure. Dig a bed a foot in depth and lay in
successive layers of soil and spawn until the bed is filled. In about ten days
cover all with a slight layer of loam and manure, pressing it firm. Within six
weeks the mushrooms will appear and grow rapidly and continually for a month
or over. Price, 15c. per brick. Ten pounds, $1.25.
The seed I bovght of you last Spring gave perfect satisfaction.
