Parsnips. 



The Parsnip will 

 flourish best and 

 give the longest, 

 largest and smooth- 

 est roots in a very 

 deep rich soil— one 

 that has been made 

 rich from manure 

 the previous year. 

 Fresh manure 

 makes the roots 

 somewhat i 11- 

 shaped. Sow as 

 early in the Spring 

 as the ground can 

 be made ready, 

 pretty thickly in 

 drills from twelve 

 to eighteen inches 

 apart, and about an 

 inch deep. Thin 

 the plants to five or 

 six inches apart. 



HOLLOW CROWN, or SUGAR.— The HollowCrown 

 is superior m quality to all other varieties, and the pre- 

 ferred kind with Baltimore Hardeners; the roots are 

 smooth, tender, hand ome shape and early. We have 

 the finest stock of Hollow Crown Parsnips that we know 

 of in ttris country.

Peas. 



Extra Early Medium Height. 



NOTICE.— In ordering Peas to be sent by mail, 

 please add 8 ets. per pint lo pay postage. 



The dwarf varieties should be liberally manured ; the 

 tall sorts will run too much to vine if heavily manured, 

 it being better to depend on ther.chness of the land that 

 was previously in good condition Plant the dwarf in 

 rows two feet apart; those varieties attaining the height 

 of from two to three feet, in rows three feet apart, and 

 the rows of the tallest sort four feet apart. Bush the 

 tall kinds when six inches high, or poles set every six 

 or eight feet, with twine fastened to them about four 

 inches apart, answer finely.
