PARSNIP 
German, Pastinake. 
French, Panals. 
Italian, Pastinaca. 
Spanish, Pastinaca. 
Sow in April or 
e^ly in May, as Pars¬ 
nips require a long sea¬ 
son to mature. Their 
cultivation is the same 
as directed for Carrots. 
They may be dug in the 
Autumn and stored for 
Winter use, but if left 
in the ground till the 
following Spring, they 
are very much improved 
in flavor. Sow a liberal 
quantity of seed, as it 
naturally does not come 
up well.

to six pounds to the 
acre.

PEAS 
Early Varieties 
INOCUUTE ALL LEGUMES 
German, Erbsen. Italian, PIsello. French, Pols. Spanish, Gulsante. 
Cultural Directions. —Peas do best in a light, rich loamy soil 
that has been liberally manured the previous season. Plant the 
smooth varieties as early as the ground can be worked. The wrinkled 
peas are not so hardy as the smooth kinds, and should be planted 
later; they are, however, sweeter and better flavored. For a succes¬ 
sion, plant every two weeks—until June 1st, then discontinue until 
August 1st, when the extra early varieties may be planted for a fall 
crop. When grown for market, peas are rarely staked; in small gar¬ 
dens grow in double rows, 12 inches apart, and stake with brush. 
They should be kept clean and the earth worked toward them two 
or three times during growth. 
Two pounds will plant 100 feet of drill; 120 pounds for an acre. 
For postage on 5 lbs. and over, consult inside front cover.
