PARSLEY —The seed should be soaked 
and planted early in rows 12" to 18" 
apart. Thin to 8" to 12" apart. One ounce 
will sow 200 ft. of row. To have parsley 
for winter use, dry the leaves until they are 
crisp: then rub them down into powder, 
and keep bottled. 
PARSNIPS —Parsnips require the whole 
season to mature and should therefore be 
sown early, in rows 18" to 24" apart. The 
soil must be well worked. A few radishes 
are frequently sown at the same time. Thin 
out 3" to 4" apart. Frost improves the 
roots. Allow one ounce to 200 ft. of row. 
PEAS —Peas are cool weather plants and 
should be sown just as soon as the ground 
can be worked. The early, small, smooth- 
seeded varieties should be planted first; 
the large, wrinkled-seeded sorts, which are 
sweeter and of better quality, are not so 
hardy and should be sown when the ground 
is a little warmer. While peas make a 
better showing on poor soil than most 
garden crops, it pays to prepare a good 
seed bed, properly enriched. Allow 2 to 
3 lbs. per 100 ft. of double row; 2 bushels 
per acre. Plant 2" to 3" deep in 8" double 
rows, 2 ft. apart for the dwarf sorts, 3 ft. 
for the tall. Cultivate regularly and pro¬ 
vide the tall sorts with brushwood or other 
support. Commercial growers have found 
it highly profitable to run a strip of fer¬ 
tilizer alongside the rows about 3" away 
from the growing plants. 
The garden pea is rich in nutritious 
values, containing vitamins A, B and 
C. 
For increased yield, INOCULATE! 
Garden peas, like all legume crops, 
will almost always benefit by inocula¬ 
tion. Both quantity and quality of the 
crop are increased when the beneficial 
nitrogen-fixing bacteria are present 
in sufficient numbers. 
The cost of inoculating garden peas 
is only a matter of pennies. Peas 
should never be planted without it. 
PEPPERS —Peppers are usually started 
in a protected seed bed. Transplant when 
4" high to rows l^fi ft. apart with 2 to 
2 I /2 ■fb between plants. Cultivate regu¬ 
larly to keep down weeds, drawing the soil 
up around the stems, and hoe in a light 
dressing of fertilizer when the plants are 
7" to 8" high. Do not plant hot peppers 
near sweet; they are apt to cross.
