VEGETABLE AND FLOWER SEEDS , ETC . 
PARSLEY. 
German, ^eterfitie. French, PersU. 
This vegetable is 
used for garnishing 
more than any other 
plant of our gardens; 
it is extensively used 
in soups, slews, etc. 
As the seed is very 
to germinate, 
two or 
three weeks will 
elapse before the 
plants make their 
appearance, and in 
dry weather often 
fail entirely. Plants 
be started in 
a hot-bed, if possible, 
but if sown out of 
extra double curled. doors the seeds should 
be soaked in quite warm water at least twenty-four hours. When 
the plants are two or three inches high, set them in rows five or six 
inches apart. Pkt. Cts.

PEAS. 
German, (Srbfen. French, Pois. 
Choice English and American Varieties. 
Peas are perfectly hardy, and will endure a great amount of frost and cold 
with safety. As “ Green Peas ” are one of the delicacies of the garden, they should 
be sown very early in order to have them fit for early use : those sown early succeed 
the l*est as a general thing. Sow in drills six inches apart and four feet space 
between. The drills should be three inches deep and the peas scattered pretty 
thickly—about a pint to forty feet. When the plants are three inches high draw a 
little earth to their stems. All varieties growing three feet or more in height should 
be supported by a row of brush ; the dwarf varieties do not need it. The varieties 
we offer below are carefully sifted and hand picked, which renders them very super¬ 
ior. A dry soil is most suitable, as they are liable to rot in any other. Pkt. Cts.
