NOTICE.-In ordering Peas to be sent

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 the richness 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 kind when six inches high, or poles set every six or 

 eight feet, with twine fastened to them about four inches 

 apart, answer finely.

AMERICAN WONDER.-Very luscious in fla- 

 vor. Try it ; height 12 inches. The earliest wrinkled Pea,

The Parsnip will 

 flourish best and give , 

 the longest, largest 

 and smoothest roots 

 in a very deep, rich 

 soil — one that has 

 been made rich from 

 manure the previous 

 year. Fresh manure 

 mikes the roots some- 

 what illshaped. 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.
