110 FARM HOMES, IN-DOORS AND OUT-DOORS. 

 PARSLEY. 



This is fine for flavoring soups, salads, and omelets, 

 and for decorating meats and vegetables. Its beautifully 

 curled leaves can also be used in bouquet-making. A 

 bunch of it can be taken up in the fall, cut back a little, 

 and planted in a box in a sunny kitchen window, where 

 it will be convenient for use. 



PEAS. 



Laxton's Alpha and the Champion of England are both 

 richly-flavored and prolific sorts. McLean's Little Gem 

 is a good early sort, growing but a foot in hight, and re- 

 quiring no support. It is well to plant the three varie- 

 ties, and so have a succession of nice peas for the table 

 the Champion being the latest of all. 



PEPPERS. 



The Large Bell, Sweet Mountain, and Cherry, are de- 

 sirable the first two for pickling and the latter for pep- 

 per-sauce. The seeds should be started in the house or 

 in a hot-bed in severe climates. The Cherry pepper is 

 very prettily grown in a large flower-pot or box. 



POTATOES. 



The Peerless, the Early Rose, the Snowflake, and St. 

 Patrick are all excellent sorts. Early Rose has years ago 

 established itself as an early and profuse bearer. The 

 Peerless is a fine potato for keeping. I have found them 

 as firm and sound in June as when first ripened. Queen 

 of the South is the best Sweet Potato for northern 

 gardens. 



PUMPKINS. 



The Connecticut Field bears away the palm as being 

 the richest and finest grained.
