PAINESVILLE. OHIO 
Reliable Garden Seed 11 
Champion Moss Curled Parsley. 
PARSLEY 
Sow in drills 1 foot apart, in rich, mellow soil: 
soak the seed 12 hours before sowing, which should 
be done in early spring, as they are very slow to 
germinate. When 1 or 2 inches high thin out the 
plants to 6 inches apart in the rows. Used as a 
garnish for table, also in soups. Late in the fall, 
a few plants may be dug and potted ; set in a sunny 
window, will provide fresh leaves all winter.

Hamburg* or Hooted. (100 days). Grown for its 
piquantly edible roots. These are shaped and in 
size similar to Parsnips, with white flesh, the 
flavor very much like Celeriac. Useful as flavor¬ 
ing for soups and stews, and often cooked like 
Parsnips. May be dug late and stored in dry sand 
for wdnter use. 
Champion Moss Curled. (65 days). A compact 
growing finely cut and beautifully curled variety, 
the favorite garnish. 
PARSNIPS 
Parsnips sliced and fried are a nutritious and 
acceptable side dish at many a winter dinner. 
CU^TURH. One ounce will sow 200 feet of 
drill; 5 pounds for 1 acre. Sow as early in the 
spring as the weather will permit, in drills 15 
inches apart, covering half an inch deep. When well 
up thin out to 5 or 6 inches apart in the rows. 
Unlike Carrots they are improved by frost, and it 
is usual to take up in fall only a certain quantity 
for winter use, leaving the rest in the ground until 
spring, to be dug as required. If cellar-stored, pack 
in boxes filled with slightly moist soil. 
Hollow Crown or Iiong Smooth. (85 days). 
Roots oblong, ending somewhat abruptly with a 
tap root; best variety for general use.

PEANUTS 
Peanuts are an American institution, their de¬ 
lectable aroma and consumption an inevitable fea¬ 
ture at all American outdoor sports. It may be a 
matter of surprise to most northern gardeners that 
it is not only practical but profitable to raise your 
own, as well as help sup¬ 
ply your local market. In 
farming, the prolific tops 
are valuable as forage; the 
nuts for fattening hogs. 
CUIiTUBE. Peanuts re¬ 
quire light rich soil well 
limed. Plant in the spring 
as soon as the ground has 
become warm, in rows 30 
to 36 inches apart, placing 
the seed 6 to 10 inches 
apart in the row. It is not 
necessary to remove the 
hull when planting. Keep 
well hoed. When matured 
pull and hang up to dry. 
Valencia. A very desirable 
and productive Spanish 
bush type. Mild, sweet 
flavored, bearing 3 or 4 
peas in each hull.

PEPPERS 
CULTURE. Sow in a hotbed in March and transplant to the open 
ground when the weather is favorable. They should be planted in warm, 
mellow soil, in rows 18 inches apart. They may also be sown in the open 
ground when the danger of frost is past and the soil is warm and the 
weather settled. Thorough and frequent cultivation should be kept up 
until frost; by this means you can have a continuous crop. One ounce 
will produce about 1500 plants; 3 ounces supplies an acre.

^ deserves a trial. The fruits 
VallTOrnia wonner blocky or square-shaped, slightly broader 
at stem end than at nose, without distinct lobing or indentations, and 
especially free from roughness at blossom end. Full grown fruits have 
a breadth of 4 inches and a length of 4% inches, and it is not unusual 
to find specimens weighing a full pound. They present the smooth, 
attractive dark green color of the Pimento when young, turning to 
bright crimson as they ripen. It is not uncommon to find fruits showing 
flesh three-eighths of an inch thick. In addition to this thickness of 
flesh, it is of the finest quality, being sweet, crisp and tender, and en¬ 
tirely free from pungency. The plants are slightly spreading, sturdy 
and productive, bearing from 5 to 9 large fruits at a setting. Although 
not strictly an early variety, it will produce marketable fruits as early 
as the second early sorts. For the home gardener and shipper this 
should prove an ideal Pepper. 
Pkt., 10c; % oz., 25c; oz., 40c; % lb., $1.25. 
Chinese Giant. (130 days). Largest of the Peppers ; chunky, very thick 
and meaty, 4 to 5 inches across at the base and equally as long, divided 
into 4 sections. Fine for stuffing and for salads. 
Goliath. (120 days). Without doubt the largest Pepper ever offered. 
An average yield is 10 full-sized Peppers to a plant, packing only 20 
to the usual one-third bushel market basket. It is of uniform oblong 
shape, with smooth, glossy skin ; a market eye-catcher and sure sale. 
Its flavor is sweet, the meat thick, and its season very early. In plant¬ 
ing, better give it 30 inches space for plant development. 
Harris Early Giant. (100 days). Earliest of all large-fruited sorts. 
Four inches high and three inches through. The Peppers are deep 
green, turning to brilliant red. with thick flesh, of sweet, pleasant 
flavor. 
Uiincrai>ian VaIIaw days). A useful, tasty semi-hot Pepper of 
nungarian i viiuw g^eat sectional popularity; thick fleshed, 2i/^ by

sweet; smooth and glossily green at first but maturing to bright red. 
Red Cayenne. (125 days). A long slim pod, rather pointed and when 
ripe of a bright red color, 
extremely strong and pun¬ 
gent. Used for pickling and 
pepper sauce. 
Royal King*. (125 days). Wo 
believe it the best Sweet Pep¬ 
per produced in many years ; 
the plants unusually produc¬ 
tive, returning an enonnous 
yield to the acre. Exception¬ 
ally large fruited, thick and 
meaty; its walls more than 
twice as thick as those of 
other sorts; very mild—not 
the least pungent—^perfectly 
sweet. The type is thoroughly 
fixed, producing u n i f o r nm 
fruits l^oth in shape and 
color.

large and handsome variety. 
When ripe they are of a 
beautiful iniby red color, and
