Parsnip, Hollow Crown 
PEAS 
One quart zvill plant about 75 feet of drill. 
Peas do best in a light, rich soil; for private 
use sow in rows 2 to 2^ inches apart, the rows 
2^ feet apart, the tall ones requiring brush. 
Commence sowing the early varieties as soon 
as the ground can be worked in March; continue 
for a succession every two weeks until June. 
A good crop can be secured by sowing the extra 
early sorts in August for Fall use. The 
wrinkled varieties are not as hardy as the small 
round sorts, and if planted early should have a 
dry soil, or they are liable to rot in the ground; 
they are, however, the sweetest and best 
flavored. 
If wanted by parcel post add 8c. per pint and 
10c. per quart for postage.
