PARSLEY. 



CUIiTUBB. — Parsley succeeds best in 

 rich, mellow soil. As the seeds germinate 

 very slowly, 3 or 4 weeks elapsing some- 

 times before it makes its appearance, it 

 should be sown early in the Spring and 

 Fall, previously soaking tlie seeds for a 

 few hours in tepid water. Sow thickly in 

 rows a foot apart and half an inch deep. 



One ounce to 150 feet of drill. Eight 

 pounds to the acre. Matures in 85 to 110 

 days.

PARSNIP. 



CULTURE. — Should be sown in deep, mellow soil, deeply spaded, as the roots are 

 long, in drills twelve to eighteen inches apart; when the plants are three inches high, 

 thin out to three inches apart in rows. Sow from September to November for Winter, 

 and January to March for Spring and Summer crops. Matures in 120 to 160 days. One 

 ounce to 250 feet of drill; 5 pounds to the acre.

 all the good qualities for which other \ arieties are recommended. Packet, lOc; oz., 15c.; 

 14 lb., 35c.; lb., $1.00, postpaid. 



PEAS. 



CULTURE. — Peas are a fine vegetable, and therefore are very generally cultivated. 

 It is best to plant in ground manured the previous season, else they will make more 

 vines than peas. As a general thing the dwarf kinds require richer ground than the 

 tall growing varieties. Marrowfat Peas, planted in rich ground, will not bear well, but 

 they produce well in sandy light soil. The Extra Early. Tom Thumb and Alaska will 

 not produce a large crop without being in riqh ground. Peas have to be planted in drills 

 two inches deep and from two to three feet apart, according to the height they may grow. 

 Premium Gem can be planted one foot apart, whereas the White Marrowfat or Champion 

 of England require three feet. The Extra Early and Early Washington can be planted dur- 

 ing August and September for Fall. During November and December we plant the 

 Marrowfat; January and February, or as late as March, all kinds can be planted; but 

 for, the latter month only the earliest varieties should be used, as the late varieties 

 will get mildewed before thej^ bring a crop. Peas will bear much better if some brush 

 or rods are stuck in the drills to support them, except the very dwarf kinds. Sow 

 1 quart to 50-foot drill, IV, to 2 bushels per acre.
