when they are small and tender. Directions for use can be found in 
any good cook book. Sow in the open ground when the ground is thor¬ 
oughly warm, in this latitude about the middle of May and not later 
than June 15th. Sow in rows 234 feet apart and thin to 15 in. apart.

Parsley takes up very little room in the garden and is always appre¬

will add immeasurably to the flavor of soups and stews, besides being a 
delicious vegetable when cooked alone. 
Sow in the spring or summer where the plants can he left until the 
following spring. Some plants can be transplanted into boxes of earth and 
kept in a light cellar or kitchen window for winter use.

Peanuts 
Peanuts can be successfully grown in the 
North on warm, sandy soil in a sheltered 
place with a southern exposure. South of 
Pennsylvania they can be grown on any good 
fight soil. 
Plant the same time as corn, in rows 2 34 ft. 
apart. Drop the shelled nuts 8 to 10 in. apart, 
cover 1 in. deep. When the plants are nearly full grown throw earth up 
to them. This will cause the nuts to form.

but are the earliest variety and very prolific. This is decidedly the best 
kind for planting in the North.
