Chirivia — Pastinake — P&n&is. 
A deep, richly manured soil, susceptible to moisture, should be selected 
for Parsnips. This vegetable requires a long season to mature, and the 
seed should therefore be. sown early. Drills inch deep and 15 inches 
apart should be marked out; drop the seed in thickly, for where the seeds 
are few they are apt to perish in the ground, not having sufficient strength 
to open the pores of the earth. One ounce of seed will sow about 50 feet 
of row.

PEAS. 
Chicbaros b Guisantes — Erbsen — Pois. 
The pea is one of our most important crops, and to be 
successfully grown must be liberally treated. A deep, 
rich soil, well pulverized, and incorporated with a fair 
allowance of well-decayed manure, should be chosen for 
the principal crops. For early peas the ground does not 
require to be so rich. Sowing of the first early variety 
should be made in October, and the other varieties for 
successive- crops, plant every 2 
weeks until the first of April. 
Peas are sown in single or double 
rows, from 2 to 0 feet apart, accord¬ 
ing to the variety or the height to 
which they attain. Have the rows 
of the dwarf varieties 2 feet apart, 
and those of the medium sorts from 
3 to 4 feet, and the tall varieties 
from 5 to 6 feet apart. 
The dwarf varieties may be grown 
without sticks. Two pounds will 
sow 100 feet of row. If ordered 
by mail, will be charged 10c per 
pound additional for postage.
