fore planting. Sow early in spring, 
% inch deep, in rich, mellow soil, 
and when plants are of good size, 
thin to stand 8 inches apart in 
the rows. In the fall, a few plants 
may be set into pots, and taken 
indoors.

1 oz. for 200 feet of drill. 
5-6 lbs. for an acre. 
The parsnip is one of our 
most valuable root vegetables, 
because of its rich sweet flavor 
and high food value. Frost im¬ 
proves the flavor, and parsnips 
can be left in the ground all 
winter, to be harvested in 
spring when fresh vegetables 
are scarcest. 
Parsnips do best in rich deep 
soil, but fresh manure should 
not be used. Seed germinates 
slowly, and may be sown early 
in 'drills. Thin the plants to 
Stand 4 or 5 inches apart.

PEANUTS 
CULTURE— Peanuts are a leguminous crop, the same as beans and 
peas, and valuable as fertilizing and forage crops. They require about 
the same care, and the planting season is the same as for corn. The 
shells must be removed before planting. Pods are borne beneath the 
ground. Peanuts are an interesting crop to grow, especially for chil¬ 
dren’s gardens. 
514. EARLY SPANISH -The earliest variety, and best for the 
North. Plants are upright and compact, with small pods and nuts of fine 
flavor. Large pkt. 8c, lb. 35c, prepaid.—Not prepaid, 5 lbs. $1.10.

515. LARGE VIRGINIA -The 
main crop peanut, and the most ex¬ 
tensively grown. Plants are erect, 
and of vigorous, rapid growth, with 
very large pods and nuts. An excel¬ 
lent variety for dry, sandy soil.

About Your Garden 
Make at least two plantings of 
Beans, Peas, and Sweet Corn, in 
order to prolong the season. Plan 
for enough for canning, also. 
Sow plenty of Beets, Carrots, 
Onions, Celery, and Rutabagas, 
for winter storage. 
You can use some of the gar¬ 
den space twice— Radishes, Early 
Lettuce, Early Peas, etc., may be 
followed by Celery Cabbage, To¬ 
matoes, Cabbage, Turnips, or an¬ 
other crop of Radishes and Let¬ 
tuce may be grown. 
Good crops cannot be expected 
year after year, regardless of how 
good the seed may be, if a proper 
balanced fertilizer is not used. 
The cost is so small for a good all 
around fertilizer you cannot afford 
to do without it. Be sure to in¬ 
clude “Sacco” with your order— 
see page 72 for full information.
