winter. Parsley does well in either sun or shade 
and does not require any particular kind of soil. The 
leaves may be kept for winter use after drying them 
completely in a warm but shady place. When dry rub 
to a powder, store in air tight bottles until needed dur¬ 
ing winter months.

edible and they resemble small parsnips in size 
and shape. Valued for flavoring soups, stews, 
etc. The foliage is like that of the plain parsley. 
The roots are not spoiled by frost and 
may be left in the ground over winter 
or stored in sand for winter use. Leaves 
can be used just like ordinary parsley.

608 Shumway’s Improved Sugar 
“The very best Parsnip grown.’’ It is enormously productive, roots 
are 10 to 12 inches long and about 3 inches thick at the shoulder. It is 
rich in saccharine, has smooth white skin, is uniform in shape, is sweet, 
tender, sugary. It is remarkably free from side roots; in fact, in this 
respect it is about the cleanest of all parsnips. It is fine grained and 
of superior flavor. Not only of fine table quality but the heavy yield 
and high sugar content make it very desirable for stock feeding. Par¬ 
snips will improve the richness of your cows’ milk. Will also store 
wonderfully well for winter use when the ground is frozen. Pkt., 10 cts.; 
oz., 19 cts.; Vi lb., 42 cts.; Vi lb., 71 cts.; lb., $1.25; 2 lbs., $2.40, postpaid. 
Parsnips prefer very wet soil and will thrive where 
carrots will not grow. They make splendid stock 
feed, and horses prefer them to car¬ 
rots. A freeze is required to sweeten 
them. For the best results, deep soil 
is needed, and fresh manure should not 
be used as it will cause the roots to 
divide. 
609 Hollow Crown or Long Smooth 
A highly improved type producing uniformly large and handsome roots of stocky 
form, heavy at the shoulder, well rounded, gradually tapering to the base. Flesh 
white, of fine texture, free from core and stringiness; fine'flavored. Cooks tender; 
sweet and rich; enormously productive and exceptionally smooth. Pkt., 5 cts.; oz., 
10 cts.; Vj lb., 29 cts.; V 2 lb., 46 cts.; lb., 75 cts.; 2 lbs., $1.35, postpaid. 
Peanuts should be shelled before planting. 
Plant in rows 2y 2 or 3 feet apart, dropping 
the nuts 10 inches apart in the row. Cover 
one or two inches. A sandy loam is the best 
soil for Peanuts. Peanuts do exceedingly 
well in the North making compact bushes 
18 inches high, with heavy erect stalks and 
large leaves. They are good producers, and 
do best on light, sandy soil. Matures in 100 
to 120 days. In the fall before frost, dig and 
hang them under a shed or in an airy room 
to cure.
