10 Reliable Garden Seed 
The STORRS & HARRISON CO. 
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. 
PRICE: Pkt, 10c; oz. 15c; % lb. 35c; lb. $1.00. 
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 winter use. 
Champion Moss Curled. (65 days). A compact 
growing finely cut and beautifully curled variety, 
the favorite garnish. 
PARSNIP 
Parsnips sliced and fried are a nutritious and 
acc epta ble side dish at many a winter dinner. 
CTJIi TXT RE . One ounce will sow 200 feet of 
drill; 6 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. 
Holltm Crown or Long 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. 
CULTURE. 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. 
Pkt. 10c; i/ 2 lb. 20c; 
lb. 35c ; 2 lbs. 65c; 
5 lbs. $1.25, postpaid. 
Extra Early Alaska. 
PEAS 
CULTURE. Peas mature earliest in 
a light, rich soil; for general crop a 
moderately heavy soil is best. Commence 
sowing early varieties as soon as ground 
can be worked, continue for a succession 
every 2 weeks until June. Sow the early, 
second early and late varieties at the 
same time for a succession. One pound 
for 100 feet of drill; 110' to 175 pounds 
for an acre. The wrinkled varieties are 
more susceptible to cold, wet weather, 
hence should not be planted very early. 
Brush can be used to advantage on all 
varieties, but the various dwarf growing 
sorts take care of themselves very well 
without. If brush is not available, chick¬ 
en wire is the best substitute for use 
with the taller growing kinds. 
The crop should be gathered as fast 
as it is fit for use. If even a few pods 
begin to ripen, not only will new pods 
cease to grow, but those partly advanced 
will stop growing.
