first season by sowing in drills early in March, in strong land, and 

 thinning them out to stand two or three inches apart, keeping them 

 well hoed : for this purpose the Red Wethersfield and Yellow Danvers

 heavily manured with well-rotted manure.

Sow early in April, in rows one foot apart, thin out to stand six inches 

 apart. Soak the seed first in warm water, or sprout in damp earth, and 

 sow when the seed swells or bursts. For winter use, protect in a frame 

 or light cellar. 



PARSNIP. 



Panais, Fr. Chariberia, Span. Pastinake, Ger. 

 Large Sugar or Hollow-Crowned, per oz. 10 cts. 

 This is decidedly the best variety. Sow as early in the spring as the 

 Aveather will admit, in rich ground, well dug. Cultivate similar to Car- 

 rots. The roots improve by leaving in the ground over winter, securing 

 enough in pits or the cellar for immediate use. Valuable for feeding 

 stock as well as table use. 



PEAS. 



In ten cent packets, or by the quart at prices annexed. 

 Thirty cts. per qt. additional, when ordered to be sent by mail.
