SEEDS AND IMPLEMENTS.

PARSLEY. -(Petersille). 



Culture. — Seed should be sown thinly in 

 drills as early in the spring, as the soil can be 

 dug in fine loose condition, as it germinates best 

 during cool moist weather. When well started 

 thin out or transplant to stand six inches apart 

 in the row. The dwarf, moss-curled varieties 

 make beautiful edgings for the garden beds when 

 planted along the walks, and furnishes ornamen- 

 tal foliage for garnishing as well as seasoning 

 for table use. Roots may be taken up and 

 planted in boxes or flower pots in the fall for 

 winter use and placed in a sunny window in the 

 kitchen. As plants run to seed early in the 

 spring the second year, fresh plantings should 

 be made each season. A "packet" contains 

 about 3000, and an ounce 15,000 seeds. Use 

 one-half ounce to 100 feet of drill.

Extra Dark Moss Curled.— This is 

 very ornamental in growth, more so thanm any 

 plants grown for decorative purposes. The 

 leaves are of a peculiar, extra dark-green color. 

 It is very productive, and from the densely curled 

 character of its leaves a quantity of green sea- 

 soning or garnishing can be gathered in less 

 time than with the more open-leaved varieties.

AROOSTOOK SEED POTATOES 



10 bushels to the acre. 



Plant as early as the ground 

 can be prepared in a rich, light 

 soil 1 ft. apart in rows 3 ft. a- 

 part, cutting the potato not 

 more than three pieces to each 

 potato. The ground should 

 be thoroughly well manured 

 and the potato covered about 

 3-in. deep. Potatoes are sub- 

 ject to so many ailments that 

 we cannot go into detais de- 

 scribing each one. We are, 

 however, well acquainted with 

 nearly all the conditions of 

 blight, rust or insect pests 

 which the potato is inflicted 

 with, and should be pleased to 

 give you the benefit of our 

 advice, either personally or by 

 letter, on receiving description 

 of your trouble. In a general 

 way we are recommending Bug Death as the best insecticide for potatoes. We have also in stock at all 

 times Slug-Shot, Paris Green, the different preparations of Whale Oils, etc. 



Choice Stock Grown Especially for Seed.— Prices subject to change without notice- 

 Long experience in the seed business justifies us in stating that with no seed-stock is one at the 

 mercy of the dealer so much as with seed potatoes. You must depend to a great extent on the reli- 

 ability of your dealer. In this locality the farmer demands a seed-stock grown in the extreme north, 

 and unless the stock itself is healthy, your entire crop is liable to scab or other diseases which will 

 ruin the entire field. The best potatoes in the world come from Aroostook county, Maine, and we have 

 contracted this year for our main stock to be grown there. Get our prices before you buy.
