Parsley 



PARSLEY 



One ounce will sow 200 feet of row; 

 3 to 4 pounds, an acre. 



Culture. Parsley needs a mellow, rich 



soil. The seed is slow to germinate. A good 



plan is to soak the seed a few hours in warm 



water and then plant J/2 inch deep ind thin 



plants to stand 8 to 10 inches apart. If the 



leaves of curly varieties are all cut off when 



they are 3 inches tall, growth will be better. 



Liberal cutting of Parsley improves quality. 



For winter use move plants to a coldframe or 



light cellar, or a supply can be potted in 6-inch 



flower-pots and grown in a kitchen window.

PEAS 



For quantity prices write for 

 market-growers' list 



One to two pounds will plant 100 feet of row; 

 120 pounds, an acre. 



Peas are not only delicious food but they 

 contain iron and vitamins A, C and Bi. 

 Every garden needs lots of Peas. 



Culture. Peas mature earliest in light, 

 rich soil. For general crop use a rich, deep 

 loam or one inclining to clay. When grown 

 in garden sow in double rows 6 to 8 inches 

 apart; the rows 2 to 4 feet apart. Commence 

 sowing the extra-early varieties as early as 

 the ground can be worked in February or 

 March; plant for a succession every two 

 weeks until June, then discontinue until the 

 middle of August, when a good crop may be 

 secured by sowing extra-early and early sorts 

 for fall use. They should be kept clean and 

 earthed up twice during the growth. The 

 wrinkled varieties are not as hardy as the 

 small, round sort and if planted early should 

 have a dry soil or they are liable to rot in the 

 ground. They are, however, the sweetest 

 and best-flavored varieties. The dwarf 

 varieties are best suited for small gardens.
