Parsley, Moss Curled 
PARSNIP 
Matures in 100 days. 
One ounce will sons 150 feet of drill. 
Parsnips are usually grown on deep, rich, 
sandy soil, but will make good roots on any 
soil which is deep, mellow and moderately rich. 
Sow as early as possible in drills two and one- 
half feet apart; cover one-half inch deep and 
press the soil firmly over the seed. Give fre¬ 
quent cultivation and thin the plants four inches 
apart in the row.

requiring a deep soil. One of the leading va¬ 
rieties. Pkt. 10c., oz. 20c., 54 lb. 60c., lb. $1.75. 
Magnum Bonum. An improved strain of Hol¬ 
low crown; not as long as the former, but 
thicker and heavier cropper. Pkt. 10c., oz. 
25c., 54 lb. 65c., lb. $2.00. 
PEAS 
One quart will plant about 75 feet of drill. 
Peas do best in a light, rich soil; for private 
use sow in rows 2 to 254 inches apart, the rows 
254 feet apart, the tall ones requiring brush. 
Commence sowing the early varieties as soon 
as the ground can be worked in March; continue 
for a succession every two weeks until June. 
A good crop can be secured by sowing the extra 
early sorts in August for Fall use. The 
wrinkled varieties are not as hardy as the small 
round sorts, and if planted early should have a 
dry soil, or they are liable to rot in the ground; 
they are, however, the sweetest and best 
flavored. 
If wanted by parcel post add 8c. per pint and 
10c. per quart for postage. 
Dwarf Early Varieties 
Ready for picking from 55 to 70 days. 
♦Early Bird. Height 3 Feet. Undoubtedly the 
best of this class. A round-seeded Pea of the 
Gradus type, embodying the hardiness of a 
round variety with the flavor and size of pod 
of Gradus. It is a vigorous branching plant 
and bears throughout the length of the haulm 
a large proportion of pods in pairs, which con¬ 
tain fine, deep green Peas of exquisite mar¬ 
rowfat flavor. Pkt. 10c., 54 pt. 25c., pt. 45c., 
qt. 85c., 54 pk. $3.25.
