1 he price of Onion Sets this season is unusually low, 
but it varies during the season, and while, at the quart 
rates, we shall fill all orders regardless of changes in 
the market, those who order by the peck or bushel must 
be subject to any changes in the regular market price. 
At bushel and peck rates, purchasers pay their own 
freight or express charges. 
PEAS. 
Peas should be put in as early as the soil can be got 
ready. Sow in drills not less than four inches deep, 
about a pint to forty feet. The drills must not be nearer 
than two feet, except for the lowest sorts. Those 
growing three feet high or more, should not be nearer 
than three or four feet, and should have brush for their 
-support. The large, fine wrinkled varieties are not as 
hardy as the small sorts, and if planted very early, 
should have a dry soil, or they are liable to rot. It is 
best to sow the earliest Peas just as soon as possible. 
They are hardy and frost will not harm them. In about 
two or three weeks after, make another sowing, a few 
more early, a good lot of second early and some for late 
crop. The second sowing of early comes in very handy.

PARSLEY.

minates very slowly ; 
it should be started in 
a hot-bed, if possible. 
For out-door sowing 
always prepare the 
seed by placing in hot 
water to soak for 
twenty-four hours, in 
a warm place. When 
the plants are a few 
inches in height, set 
them in rows, three 
or four inches apart.
