Cultural Suggestions 



Plant in May or June, in hills 8 by 8 ft. 

 apart, or drop 5 or 6 seeds in every fourth 

 hill in the cornfield. Thin to the best 



2 plants in a hill. Use 1 oz. for 25 hills; 



3 to 4 lbs. are needed to plant 1 acre. 



Parsley l 



557 Connecticut Field & 



Known as Big Tom and Improved Large Field (115 days) 

 Large, round or slightly oval fruits with a smooth, 

 hard, rich reddish orange skin and thick, dry, orange- 

 yellow flesh so highly valued for making pies or can- 

 ning. Vines make a vigorous growth and need ample 

 room to spread. This pumpkin, which weighs about 

 25 lbs. is also grown extensively for stock feeding, 

 often planted with corn. 



Pkt. 102; oz. 252; Vi lb. 752; Vi lb. $1.30. 



561 Hundred Weight 



The world's largest pumpkin (120 days) 



A selected strain of Potiron sometimes called Jumbo 

 because the pumpkins grow to such an enormous size. 

 The fruits frequently attain a weight of 100 lbs. or 

 more. In spite of its large size it is a shy seeder and 

 among the best for table and for making pies. Skin is 

 dark salmon and the flesh is bright yellow, fine grained, 



and sweet. Pkt. 102; oz. 252; 1/4 lb. 752; V2 lb. $1.30. 



Cultural suggestions: Sow seed as early as the soil can be worked in the spring; space rows 12 to 18 in. 

 apart, and after covering the seed with no more than K in. of fine soil, gently but firmly press it down. Thin 

 seedlings to stand 6 to 8 in. apart in the row. A packet will sow about 30 ft. of row; an ounce about 200 ft. 

 Parsley germinates slowly, so have the ground clean and in good condition.

All-America Award of Merit (70 days) 



This parsley is superior to all other strains, and it shows it under 

 almost all growing conditions. The leaves are slightly darker green 

 than Double Curled, and slightly shorter stemmed; but the curling 

 is distinctly tighter and more uniform than the regular Double 

 Curled. This extra tight curling is most attractive, increasing the 

 desirability for market sales. It dresses up parsley buttered 

 potatoes like a new hat on Easter Sunday.

 round and slightly flattened at the ends, 

 lightly ribbed and grows 8 to 10 in.

 cellent in pie making, since it is never 

 coarse or stringy.

PeanutsL. 



Peanuts grow best in a warm, light or sandy 

 soil, rich in lime. Do not plant until ground is 

 thoroughly warm. Plant in rows 2K to 3 ft. 

 apart; shelled nuts to be placed 8 to 10 in. apart 

 in the rows, but if planted in the hulls, space 

 them 16 to 18 in. apart in the row. Cover with 

 2 in. of soil. Cultivate and hoe freely. In the 

 fall, before frost, dig and hang them under a 

 shed or in an airy room to cure. A packet will 

 sow from 15 to 25 ft. of row; a pound from 175 

 to 300 ft. Use 30 to 45 lbs. of seed per acre. 

 Seed is shipped in the hull.
