PARSNIPS 



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 pre- 

 vious year. 

 Fresh manure 

 makes the roots 

 somewhat i 1 1 - 

 shaped. Sow as 

 early in the 

 spring as the 

 ground can be 

 made ready, 

 pretty thickly in 

 drills from 12 to 

 18 inches apart, 

 and about an 

 inch deep. Thin 

 the plants to 5 

 or 6 inches 

 apart. 



Hollow Crown 

 or Sugar. 



The Hollow 

 Crown is supe- 

 rior in quality 

 to all other va- 

 rieties, and the 

 preferred kind 

 with Baltimore 

 gardeners; the 

 roots are 

 smooth, tender, 

 handsome shape 

 and early. We 

 have the finest 

 stock of Hollow 

 Crown Parsnips 

 that we know 

 of in this coun- 

 try.

PARSLEY. 



Select rich soil; sow the seed in drills one foot 

 apart, covering half an inch deep. It would be well 

 to firm the soil with the foot after sowing the seed. 

 As the seed is usually from fifteen to twent3 r -nve 

 days in vegetating, it will be necessary to sow 

 early. Thin plants to four inches apart when two 

 inches high. The beauty of the plant may be in- 

 creased by several successive transplantings. It is 

 used principally for flavoring soups, etc., and for 

 garnishing in its natural state.

Capsicum, or Pepper, is cultivated mainly for 

 Pickles. It is used as a seasoning in many ways,

 I in the garden for the seed bed, and sow as soon as 

 the soil is warm. Transplant when three or four
