Parsqips. 
Fr. Panais. Ger. Pastinake. 
The only variety of Par¬ 
snip that we grow for seed 
is the Long Smooth Hollow 
Crown. It is the best variety 
and we offer no other. Our 
seed is fresh and of the best 
quality. Old Parsnip seed is 
worthless. 
As a field crop sow Parsnips 
in rows twenty-one to twen¬ 
ty-four inches apart, or wide 
enough apart to admit the 
use of a horse-hoe. 
In the garden it is usual to 
sow Parsnips in rows fifteen 
inches apart and thin the 
nlants to four or five inches 
in the rows. Sow at any time 
from early spring to the mid¬ 
dle of June.

Parsley. 
Fr. Persil. Ger. Petersilie. 
Sow in rows 15 inches apart, early* in the spring. Drop 
five or six seeds to an inch of row and thin the plants out 
to six inches apart. The seed germinates slowly, and care 
must be taken that the weeds do not smother the young 
plants. This thick seeding will insure a crop.

Peppers. 
Fr. Piment. Ger. Pfeffer. 
Sow the seed in a box in the 
house, about the middle of 
March. Before the plants begin 
to crowd prick them out into a 
larger box and give more room. 
If necessary to keep them back 
before the ground is ready out¬ 
side, transplant again. About 
the first of June, set them out in 
rows two and a half feet apart 
and eighteen inches apart in the 
rows.

the largest and best varieties.

Peas. 
Fr. Pols. Ger. Erbse. 
Everybody likes green Peas, but comparatively few 
farmers have them in abundance, and yet they have plenty 
of land and the Peas are easily grown. This is mainly be¬ 
cause they do not sow them in sufficient quantity. We 
have customers who order Peas by the packet when they 
should order them by the pint or quart. 
For a family of half a dozen, sow not less than two 
quarts of First and Best, two quarts of American Wonder 
two quarts of Eugenie and two quarts of Champion of 
England, or two quarts of Dwarf Marrowfats. Sow
