5ft 



White Bermuda Onion. This variety 

 is of the same shape, size and flavor as the 

 Red Bermuda; the only difference is in the 

 color, which is pure white. Very good for 

 family use. 



ITALIAN ONIONS. 



White Queen. This is a medium sized, 



white variety from Italy, very early and flat; 

 can be sown as late as February, and good 

 sized bulbs will yet be obtained. It is of mild 

 flavor and very fine when Ijoiled and dress- 

 ed for the table. It cannot be too highly 

 recommended. 



SHAI/I^OTS. . 



ESHALI^OTTE (Fr.), SCHAT^LOTTJECN (Ger.), ESCA[.0N[A (Sp.), SCAT.OGNO (Ital.). 



A small sized Onion which grows in clumps. It is generally grown in the South, and 

 nsedin its green state for soups, stew, etc. There are two varieties, the Red and White; 

 the latter variety is the most "popular. In the fall of the year the bulbs are divided and 

 set out in rows a foot apart, and four to six inches in the rows. They grow and multiply 

 very fast, and can be divided during winter, and set out again. Lite in the spring, when 

 the tops become dry, they have to be taken up, thoroughly dried, and stored in a dry, 

 airy place. 



PARSLKY: 



PKRSII, (Fr. ), PkTERSIWE (Ger.j, Pkrzii, (Sp.), Petrosei^ino (Ital.). 



Parsley can be sown during the fall from August to October, and during spring, from 

 the end of January to the end of April, It is genei"ally sown broadcast.

Improved Garnishing. 



been largely grown of late for shipping. 



Improved Garnishing. This is the 

 best kind to ornament a dish; it has the 

 same flavor as the other kinds. 



PARSNIP. 



Panais [Fr.]. PASTiNAKE[Ger.l, Pastinaca [Sp.], PasTinaca [Ital.]. 



Should be sown in deep, mellow soil, deeply spaded, as the roots are long, in drills 

 twelve to eighteen inches apart, when the plants are three inches high, thin out to three 

 inches apart in the rows. Sow from September to November for winter, and January to 

 March for spring and summer crops. 



The Hallow Crown, or Sugar, is the kind generally cultivated; it possesses all 

 the good qualities for which other varieties are recommended. 



PEAS. 



Pois [Fr.], Erbse [Ger. J, GuisanTE, Pesoi.es [vSp.], PiSEi.t,o [Ital.]. 



Peas are a fine vegetable, and therefore are very generally cultivated. It is best to 

 plant in ground manured the previous year, else the}- will make more vines than peas. As 

 a general thing the dwarf kinds require richer ground than the tall growing varieties. 

 Marrowfat Peas, planted in rich ground will not bear well, but they produce finely in 

 sandy light soil. 



The Extra Early Tom Thumb and Laxton's Alpha will not produce a large crop without 

 being in rich ground. Peas have to be planted in drills two inches deep and from two to 

 three feet apart, according to the height they may grow. Tom Thumb can be planted 

 one foot apart, whereas the White Marrowfat or Champion of England require three feet. 

 The Extra Early. Alpha and Tom Thumb can be planted during August and September 

 for fall. During November and December we plant the Marrowfat; January and February 

 or as late as March, all kinds can be planted; but for the latter month only the earliest 

 varieties should be used, as the late varieties will get mildewed before they bring a crop. 

 Peas will bear much better if some brush or rods are stuck in the drills to support them, 

 and even the very dwarf kinds will bear better when stacked. 



Try our Blue Beauty Peas for the Market, they give entire sat- 

 isfaction.
