Marshall’s Matchless Seeds 
^ ^ W. E. Marshall 8C Co., New York 
PARSNIP 
One ounce will sow 200 feet of drill 
Sow Parsnip seed as early in the spring as the weather will per- 
mit, in drills from 15 to 18 inches apart, covering with fine soil to 
the depth of half an inch. The soil should be rich and deep; ma¬ 
nured if possible, the previous autumn. Thin out the young plants 
to about 6 inches apart and keep the surface of the ground open 
and free from weeds. It is perfectly hardy and may remain in the 
ground through the winter. Indeed, the fine sugary flavor is only 
perfected by a severe frost. 
Marshall's Marrow. A grand selection, 
clean white, long roots; fine for exhi¬ 
bition and family use. The finest

Peas 
Two pounds will plant about 150 feet of drill. 
Peas mature earliest in a light, rich soil; for general crop a rich 
loam is the best. When grown in gardens sow in double rows 6 to 8 
inches apart, the rows 2 to 4 feet apart, the tall ones requiring 
brush. Commence sowing the extra early varieties as early as the 
ground can be worked in February or March and continue for a 
succession every two weeks until July.
