PARSLEY 
One ounce to 150 feet of drill. 
Parsley requires rich, mellow soil; sow thickly in drills, one foot apart, andl half an 
inch deep. As the seed germinates slowly, it is best to soak it for a few hours in tepid 
water before sowing. For winter use, protect it in a glass frame or light cellar. 
Double Curled. Pkt., 5c; Oz., 15c; % lb., 35c. 
PARSNIP 
One ounce for 250 feet of drill; 5 pounds to acre. 
Sow as early in the spring as the weather will admit, in drills 
15 inches apart, covering half an inch deep; when well up thin 
out to five or six inches apart in the rows. Unlike carrots, they 
are improved by frost, and it is usual to take up in the fall a cer¬ 
tain quantity for winter use, leaving the rest in the ground until 
spring, to be dug as required.

PEAS 
Two pounds to 80 feet of drill; 100 pounds to the acre. 
Peas for an early crop should be sown as soon as the ground 
is in working condition. The soil for their reception should be 
light, dry, and well sheltered. Mild manure, such as leaf mould, 
has a beneficial effect; but for many of the varieties, the soil cannot be too, rich. For 
general crop the ground should be well manured the previous year, which causes them 
to yield more abundantly. When grown as a market crop, peas are never staked, and 
ara sown in single rows two or three inches deep, and from two to* three feet apart, 
according to the variety or strength of the soil. When grown in small quantities for 
private use, they are generally sown in double rows, six or eight inches apart, and the 
tall varieties staked up by brush or poultry netting. If the poultry netting is taken 
up as soon as the peas are picked it will last many years.
