PARSNIPS 
One ounce of seed will sow 100 feet of dill. Sow as early 
in spring as conditions permit spacing drills 2 feet apart 
and covering seed about 1/2 inch deep. Thin the plants 
4 to 6 inches apart. 
107—NEW SHORT THICK 
We believe that this variety will appeal to the many 
home gardeners who complain that parsnips grow too long 
and are too hard to harvest. Tops are small; roots short 
and thick, having a diameter of about three inches and c 
length of only 6 to 8 inches at the thickened part. Consid¬ 
erably earlier than Hollow Crown or Guernsey. Does not 
have the deep set crown so familiar in other varieties. Pkt., 
5c; oz., 20c; Va lb., 60c; lb., $1.50. 
108—HOLLOW CROWN 
This is considered the best and most popular variety in 
cultivation. Roots grow 18 to 20 inches long. Pkt., 5c; oz., 
15c; Ya lb., 35c; lb., 90c. 
109—GUERNSEY 
Roots slightly shorter than Hollow Crown and while the 
top is set well into the shoulder, flesh is generally thicker 
at this point. Roots taper uniformly. Pkt., 5c; oz., 15c; 1/4 lb., 
35c; lb., 90c postpaid. 
PARSLEY 
Parsley, if sown in the open, should be planted thickly 
early in April, as it germinates slowly. Soaking the seed 
for a few hours in warm water will often hasten germina¬ 
tion. When plants are well up, thin to 8 inches apart. 
Cut off leaves as used—new growth will appear which 
will be more curled. May be grown the year 'round in a 
window pot. I pkt. sows 10 feet. 
105—CHAMPION MOSS CURLED 
The finely curled leaves are a dark green in color and 
full flavored. Pkt., 5c; oz., 15c; Ya lb., 35c. 
106—HAMBURG OR TURNIP ROOTED 
The roots which resemble small parsnips are used for 
flavoring. Pkt., 5c; oz., 15c. 
PEAS 
Are Rich in Sugar 
Therefore they should be picked when young and tender 
and cooked at once. Smooth varieties are not as sweet but 
they can be planted earlier. Sow the early, smooth types 
as soon as you can work in the garden, then continue 
planting every 10 days or 2 weeks with the mid-season 
and finally plant the heavy yielding late varieties during 
the last of May. Sow in rows 2 feet apart; spacing the seed 
about 2 inches apart in the rows; cover seeds about 2 
inches. Be sure to inoculate with Nitragin before sowing. 
110—ALASKA OR EARLIEST OF ALL 
Smooth seeded. Pods are short, straight, and blunt. This 
pea, while small, is very popular because it will produce 
about two weeks ahead of the larger varieties. Vines are 
short enough that they do not have to be propped. Pkt., 5c; 
1/2 lb., 20c; lb., 30c postpaid; not postpaid, 5 lbs., $1.00. 
111—AMERICAN WONDER 
The earliest of the wrinkled varieties. Fairly sweet, of 
dwarf habit, and a good home garden pea. Pkt., 5c; V 2 lb., 
20c; lb., 35c postpaid; not postpaid, 5 lbs., $1.00. 
112—LITTLE GEM 
A few days later than American Wonder. Quite a bit more 
productive. Flavor unusually sweet. Vines dwarf. Pkt., 5c; 
1/2 lb., 20c; lb., 35c postpaid; not postpaid, 5 lbs., $1.00. 
114—LAXTONIAN OR ROOSEVELT 
We have yet to find a pea that is as desirable for both 
home and market gardening use as Laxtonian. It is medium 
early and dwarf. Pods are long, usually containing 7 or 8 
peas of very fine appearance and remarkable flavor. With¬ 
out a doubt this pea should be the choice of everyone who 
plants only one variety. Pkt., 5c; 1/2 lb., 20c; lb., 35c post¬ 
paid; not postpaid, 5 lbs., $1.25. 
115—GRADUS OR WORLD'S RECORD 
Gradus is medium late with vines about three feet high. 
Pods are long and well filled with exceptionally sweet and 
tender peas. Pkt., 5c; V 2 lb., 20c; lb., 35c postpaid; not post¬ 
paid, 5 lbs., $1.10. 
116—BLISS EVERBEARING 
A dwarf mid-season pea that will bear unusually long if 
kept well picked. Pkt., 5c; V 2 lb., 25c; 1 lb., 40c postpaid. 
114A 
EARLY 
GILBO 
(A New Pea)

mended pea that

117—DWARF TELEPHONE 
Dwarf coarse vines with broad, straight, and well-filled 
pods about 4 inches long. Peas are almost as large and 
plentiful as in the Tall Telephone, and, with the advanatge 
of not having to stake, it is very popular. Pkt., 5c; V 2 lb., 
20c; 1 lb., 35c postpaid; not postpaid, 5 lbs., $1.10. 
118—TALL TELEPHONE 
A late pea that will out-yield every other variety. Vines 
must be staked or supported in some manner. Pods are 
very long and are usually well filled with 7 to 9 plump 
peas. Pkt., 5c; 1/2 lb., 20c; 1 lb., 35c postpaid; not postpaid, 
5 lbs., $1.10. 
INOCULATE PEAS 
WITH NITRAGIN 
Garden peas inoculated 
with fresh Nitragin develop 
t h e nitragin-fixing bacteria 
nodules in far greater quan¬ 
tities than if not inoculated. 
This means stronger and more 
rapid growth with less loss 
in the seedling stage. 
At left, Canning Pea root 
with nodules produced by 
Nitragin inoculation. Nitragin 
bacteria within the nodules 
aid in producing higher yiel s 
of better quality.
