Culture. — Parsnips succeed best in a 
deep, iree, rich soil, that having been 
heavily m inured for previous crops should 
be selected, and ii manure must bo used 
for this crop let it be well decomposed, or 
use guano. Sow in drills, fifteen to eigh¬ 
teen inches apart, as early in Spring as 
the ground can be found in fair werking 
condition When the plants are about 
two or three inches high, thin them out, 
leaving six or eight inches between them. 
The roots are hardy, and improve by 
leaving in the ground through the winter, 
taking only enough in the cellar to last 
during cold weather. They are very val¬ 
uable for feeding cattle, as well as for 
the table. 
i iiproved Hollow Crowned.—Roots oblong 
ending somewhat abruptly, with a 
small tap root; grows mostly below the' 
surface ; has a very smooth clean, skin, 
and is easily distinguished by the leaves 
arising from a cavity on the top or 
crown of the root. This is the very 
best f o r s ock o r t a lit e u s e , being 
tender, nutritious and well flavored.

Culture —For early peas, the soil should be light, 
warm and sheltered, hut for general crop, a moder; tt-ly 
heavy soil i . better. So :u as early as possible a. lew of the 
earliest varieties on w irm quick soil prepared the h ii 1 jc- 
lore. The general crop can he delayed until later, hut we 
have met with bet ter success from sowing all the varieties 
oornpurativcly early, depending for succession upon select- 
in ' sorts that follow e-ch other in ripening. The first 
sowing will he outlier if covered only one inch deep; 
the other sorts should be coVcrcd from two to six inches 
deep, the deeper plaining preventing mildew; and pro¬ 
longing the season. Fresh manure, or wet, mucky soil 
should he avoided, as they cause the. vines to grow too 
rank and tall 
The crot> should be gathered as fast as it becomes jh 
for use . If even a few pods begin to ripen young; fads 
will not only cease to form, but those partly advanced 
will cea se to enla rge. 
ALL WRf ;VAY .ED PEAS are. superior to. and more 
delicate it flavor, and remain Igtpger in season than the 
smooth sorts, for. as in sugar, corn the wrinkled appear - 
A-nc'e indicates a greater amount of saccharine matter.
