and given space for development will 
form a symmetrical half-globe shaped 
bush from 6 to 8 inches high and about 
10 inches across. The color is a delight-

Pastinake PARSNIPS Chirivia 
CULTURE. They do the best in deep rich sandy soil, but will make good roots on any soil which is 
deep and mellow and moderately rich. As the seed is slow to germinate, it should be sown as early as 
possible; cover K-inch deep, and press the soil firmly over the seed; give frequent cultivation, and thin 
the plants 6 to 8 to the foot. As they are improved by frost, a part of the crop should be left in the ground 
for spring use. One ounce will sow 150 feet of drill, 5 pounds to an acre. 
HOLLOW-CROWNED OR SUGAR. The best for table use; 
a vegetable of merit, easily raised and of great productiveness.

CULTURE. Peas can be grown in every garden, but for the 
earliest varieties a light, warm, moderate rich soil is most suit- 
able. The smooth kinds can be sown as soon as the ground can 
be worked, but the wrinkled varieties should not be planted till 
it is warmer, or they will rot. Sow in single or double rows 
from IK to 3 feet apart, dropping a pea every inch and covering 
from 2 to 3 inches deep. For a succession sow every ten days 
up to July. Sow one quart to 50 feet drilled; 1M to 2 bushels 
to an acre. 
GRADUS OR PROSPERITY. This remarkable 
pea is not only large and of the best quality, but it 
is also nearly as early as the small, round, extra early 
sorts. It is hardy and may be planted as soon as the 
ground is fit to work in the spring, along with smooth peas. 
The vine grows to a height of about 30 inches. The pods are 
of a light green color and measure 4 inches or more in length, 
being as large as Telephone and equally as well-filled with 
luscious peas — 8 to 10 in a pod. The peas are of first-class table 
quality and retain their color and attractive appearance after 
cooking. It is a grand pea in all respects.

ALASKA. A variety of remarkable earliness. It is a good 
yielder and produces pods of good size and dark green color, 
which are well filled with round, smooth peas of splendid flavor. 
The color of the dried pea is green. It ripens evenly; one pick- 
ing will nearly clean off the crop. Advise market gardeners to 
give this variety a trial .Pkt. 10c; lb. 25c; 2 lbs. 45c,
