PARSNIPS 



The Parsnip will 

 flourish best and 

 give the longest, 

 largest and smooth 

 est i-oots in a very 

 deep, rich soil— one 

 that has been made 

 rich from manure 

 th,e previous year. 

 Fresh manure 

 makes the roots 

 somewhat ill- 

 SHAPED. Sow as 

 early in the spring- 

 as the ground can 

 be made ready, 

 pretty thickly in 

 drills from twelve 

 to eighteen inches 

 apart, and about 

 an inch deep. Thin 

 the plants to five 

 or six inches apart. 



Hollow Grown, or 

 Sugar. 



The Hollow Crown 

 is superior in qual- 

 ity to all other va- 

 rieties, and the pre- 

 ferred kind with 

 Baltimore garden- 

 ers; the roots are 

 smooth, tender, 

 h andsome shape 

 and early. We have 

 the finest stock of 

 Hollow Crown Par- 

 snips that we know 

 of in this country.

PARSLEY. 



Select rich soil; sow the seed in drills one foot 

 apart, covering half an inch deep. It would be well 

 to firm the soil with the foot after sowing the seed. 

 As the seed is usually from fifteen to twenty-five 

 days in vegetating, it will be necessary to sow early. 

 Thin plants to four inches apart when two inches 

 high. The beauty of the plant may be increased by 

 several successive transplantings. It is used prin- 

 cipally for flavoring soups, etc., and for garnishing 

 in its natural state.

PEPPER. 



Capsicum, or Pepper, is cultivated mainly for 

 Pickles. It is used as a seasoning in many ways, 

 and sometimes medicinally. Sow the seed early in 

 a hotbed, if possible; if not, select a warm place 

 in the garden for the seed bed, and sow as soon as 

 the soil is warm. Transplant when three or four 

 inches high, in rows 18 inches apart.
