PARSLEY, PARSNIP, PEANUTS and PUMPKIN 
One ounce will sow 150 feet of drill. 
CULTURE—Parsley is indispensable for 
flavoring and for garnishing. The seed germi¬ 
nates slowly, in 2 or 3 weeks and therefore 
should be soaked in warm water for a few hours 
before planting. Sow early in spring, Vk inch 
deep, in rich, mellow soil, and when plants are 
of good size, thin to stand 8 inches apart in the 
rows. In the fall, a few plants may be set into 
pots, and taken indoors.

PARSNIP 
1 oz. for 200 feet of drill. 5-6 lbs. for an acre. 
One of our most valuable root vegetables, 
because of its rich sweet flavor and high food 
value. Frost improves the flavor, and parsnips 
can be left in the ground all winter, to be 
harvested in spring when fresh vegetables are 
scarcest. 
Parsnips do best in rich deep soil, but fresh 
manure should not be used. Seed germinates 
slowly, and may be sown early in drills. Thin 
the plants to stand 4 or 5 inches apart.

and considered the best for general cultivation.

PARSLEY 
CULTURE —Peanuts are a leguminous crop, 
the same as beans and peas, and valuable as 
fertilizing and forage crops. They require about 
the same care, and the planting season is the 
same as for corn. The shells must be removed 
before planting. Pods are borne beneath the 
ground. Peanuts are an interesting crop to 
grow, especially for children’s gardens.
