PEAS 



PARSLEY 



One ounce will sow 200 feet of row; 

 3 to 4 pounds, an acre. 



Culture. Parslev needs a mellow, rich 

 soil and the seed is slow to germinate. A good 

 plan is to soak the seed a few hours in warm 

 water and then plant 1 > inch deep and thin 

 plants to stand 8 to 10 inches apart. If the 

 leaves of curly varieties are all cut off when 

 -e 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-incIl 

 t!ower-pots and grown in a kitchen window.

PARSNIP 



One ounce will sow 200 feet of row; 

 3 to 4 pounds, an acre. 



Culture. Parsnips prefer a rich deep 

 sandy loam. Avoid stony ground and new 

 manure. Sow as early as possible in rows, 

 covering J-2 'nth deep, and press soil down 

 (irmly. Thin to stand 5 inches apart in row. 

 Leaving the roots in ground over winter 

 improves the flavor.

Peas are not only delicious food but they 

 contain iron and vitamins A, C and Bi. 

 F\er\ garden needs lots of Peas. 



("i iti Kt. 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 

 by sowing extra-early and earlj 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.
