PEAS 
CULTURE. Peas can be grown in any garden, but for the earliest varieties 
a light, warm, moderate rich soil is most suitable. The smooth seeds can be 
sown as soon as the ground is ready. The wrinkled varieties should not be 
planted till it is warmer or they will rot. The seed needs to be planted 
thick, using from 60 to 120 pounds per acre. The dwarf varieties can be 
planted in rows 18 to 24 inches apart and the tall ones 36 inches. By using 
the various classes of Peas and by making several sowings of each, good 
Peas can be had for a long season,. In the garden pods should be kept 
picked and the plants will then continue to bear.

PARSNIP 
CULTURE. They do best in deep, rich soil, but will make good 
roots on any soil which is deep and mellow and moderately 
rich. As the seed is slow to germinate, sow the seed early in 
Spring up to July. It requires about 1 ounce of seed to plant 
a 100-foot row and about 5 pounds to an acre. Parsnip is about one 
of the easiest vegetables to handle. Do not apply manure soon before 
planting, for it tends to make coarse roots of uneven shape.
