Pepper 
One ounce of seed will produce about 2,000 plants. 
Grown largely for pickles. Sow in hotbeds early in April and 
transplant to the open ground when the weather is warm and 
settled. The rows should be two feet apart and the plants fifteen 
inches apart in the rows. Rich, warm, mellow soil. 
LARGE BELL. Large and mild flavor; ripens bright red. Used 
for stuffed peppers. Pkt., 10c; oz., 50c.

very pungent. Pkt., 10c; oz., 50c. 
MONSTROUS SWEET SPANISH. A very attractive, red, sweet 
pepper. The plants are about two and one-half feet high, up- 
right, very compact, vigorous and productive. The fruits are 
very large and long, frequently seven inches in length and about 
two inches in diameter, with very thick, mild flesh of excellent 
quality. The color is deep green when fruit is young, rich red 
when ripe. Pkt., 10c; oz., 50c. 
SWEET MOUNTAIN OR MAMMOTH. Similar to the Bell, 
but larger. Pkt., 10c; oz., 50c. 
Parsley 
One ounce to 150 feet of drill. 
Parsley seed germinates very slowly, taking two to four weeks 
to come up; hence, if wanted early, no time should be lost by 
delaying the sowing; make the rows 12 to 14 inches apart. Thin 
to 3 or 4 inches apart, or transplant at this distance. Can be 
sown in hotbeds in February or later in open ground. Late in 
autumn place glass frames over some of the plants to lengthen out 
the season of cutting. For garnishing purposes nothing equals 
parsley; it is also used in salads, soups, etc. Any good soil is 
suitable for growing this plant.

Parsnips 
One ounce to 150 feet of drill; 5 pounds to the acre. 
Sow as early in the spring as the weather will permit in drills 
fifteen inches apart, covering half an inch deep. When well up 
thin out to five to six inches apart in rows. Unlike carrots they 
are improved by frosts, and it is usual to take up in the Fall a 
certain quantity for winter use, leaving the rest in the ground 
until spring to be dug up as required.

clayey soils not only delay their maturity, but produce crops much 
inferior, both in appearance and flavor. For a successive supply, 
sow from the middle of April until September, at intervals of 
two or three weeks. For an early supply they may be sown in 
a hotbed in February.
