PARSNIP 
Make the soil very fine and plant the seed very early, in rows eighteen 
inches apart, thinning plants to three or five inches in the rows; seeds should be 
covered about one-half inch deep. 
Parsnips, aside from table use, have great value for stock-feeding purposes. 
Are improved by allowing to remain in open ground through the winter. 
One ounce to 150 feet of drill; five pounds for one acre.

PEAS 
The wrinkled varieties, while the 
sweetest of all peas, are more liable to rot, 
being tender, and need to be planted thick¬ 
er and later than the round, hard sorts. 
Soil needs to be well manured. Have the 
dwarf varieties in rows two and one-half 
feet apart; those kinds growing two to three 
feet high, in rows three feet apart, and the 
tallest in rows four feet apart. The 
smooth varieties may be sown as soon as 
ground can be worked ; the wrinkled sorts 
when soil is well warmed. 
One quart to 100 feet of drill; one and 
one-half bushels to an acre.
