CHAPTER 14 



PARSLEY {Carum petroselinunij^ 



Cultural Considerations. Parsley is easily forced 

 and requires no particular care. Any of the curly- 

 leaved varieties lend themselves to forcing. 



Diseases of Parsley 



Under greenhouse conditions parsley is subject to 

 but few diseases. 



Drop, see Lettuce, p. 150. 

 Late Blight, see Celery, p. 130. 



Pea (Pisum sativum) 



Cultural Considerations. Peas are seldom forced, 

 although they could be easily grown in the green- 

 house. No attempt should be made to grow them 

 after March. They require a night temperature of 

 40 to 50 degrees F. and a day temperature of about 

 60 degrees. They are readily injured by higher tem- 

 peratures. They thrive best in solid beds and re- 

 quire an abundance of water and good drainage. 

 The early dwarf varieties lend themselves well to 

 forcing.
