Parsley 
(Prezzemole, Perejil, Peterilie) 
CULTURE—One ounce of seed will plant 150 
feet of drill; 3 pounds an acre. Parsley succeeds 
best on rich, mellow soil. The seed is very slow 
to germinate, and should be sown as early as pos¬ 
sible in the spring. Sow in rows 12 to 18 inches 
apart, covering from one-half to an inch deep with 
the fine soil, firmly pressed down. When the 
plants are about 3 inches high, thin to about 6 
inches apart in the row. Parsley is used largely 
for seasoning soups and stews, also for garnishing 
and for salads. 
CHAMPION MOSS-CURLEI)—A choice, selected 
strain. Beautifully crimped, curled leaves. The 
color is rich green, making It the very best for 
garnishing. Its pleasant, aromatic flavor Is un¬ 
surpassed. Very slow to go to seed and quite 
hardy. 
DOUBLE CURLED—A very compact, curly, fine 
cut, bright green variety. The market gardener’s 
favorite. 
PLAIN OR ITALIAN—The leaves of this variety 
are flat, deeply cut but not curled. Very de¬ 
sirable for flavoring soups and stews and for 
drying. It is a favorite on account of its very 
dark green leaves as well as Its hardiness of 
plant. The curled sorts are more extensively 
used for garnishing. 
HAMBURG ROOTED—The edible roots resemble 
small parsnips. Is esteemed for flavoring soups, 
stews, etc.

full grown throw earth up to them. This will 
cause the nuts to form.

Parsnips 
(Pastinaca, Chirivia, Pastinaka) 
CULTURE—One ounce of seed will plant 200 feet of drill; 3 
pounds to the acre. Sow as early in the spring as the weather will 
permit, in rows about 18 inches apart and about 1 inch deep, in a 
deep, rich soil. When the plants are about 2 inches tall, thin them 
out to 3 to 6 inches apart in the rows. The quality of the roots is 
improved by leaving them in the ground over winter for spring use. 
Parsnips are valuable for stock feeding as well as for table use. 
If grown on a large scale, make the rows wide enough to allow 
cultivation by horsepower.

Peas 
(Pisello, Chiaroso, Erbsen) 
CULTURE—One pound will plant 50 feet of drill. 90 to 120 
pounds for an acre. Peas do best in a light, rich loamy soil that 
has been liberally manured the previous season. Plant the smooth 
varieties as early as the ground can be worked. The wrinkled peas 
are not so hardy as the smooth kinds, and should bo planted later; 
they are, however, sweeter and better flavored. For a succession, 
plant every two weeks—until June 1st, then discontinue until August 
1st, when the extra early varieties may be planted for a fall crop. 
When grown for market, peas are rarely staked; in small gardens 
grow in double rows, 12 inches apart, and stake with brush. They 
should be kept clean and the earth worked toward them two or 
three times during growth.
