PASTINAKE (Ger.) Pa rsni ps FASTINABA (It.) 
One ounce will sow a row 200 feet long; 5 to 6 pounds to the acre. 
A few rows will supply the needs of the average family. A slow ger- 
minating seed, break any crust that forms on the ground along the seeded 
row. Be certain soil is kept moist and soft from time seed is sown until 
the plants have become well established. Thin to 4 inches between plants. 
Seed sown in the spring produces a crop by fall. The roots are hardy and 
may be left in the soil until the following spring, but we suggest that 
a portion of the crop be dug in the fall and stored for winter use.

smooth and free from side roots or prongs. Snow-white, of very good 
quality, tender and sweet. Pkt., 5c; oz., 10c; %4 lb., 30c; 1b., $1.00. 
Peerless. Finest stock grown. The roots are clear white, clean, well 
filled with little or no core, free from stringiness. Length intermediate, 
shoulders wide and with a deep crown. We cannot recommend this too 
highly. Pkt., 10c; oz., 15c; %4 Ib., 35c; lb., $1.25. 
Peanuts 
Plant the shelled nut, 2 bushels per acre. 
Peanuts can be successfully grown in the North on rich, sandy soil. 
Plant 2 to 3 inches deep, with the hulls on, in rows about 3 feet apart, 
and about 10 inches apart in the rows. When the plants are nearly full 
grown throw earth up to them. This will cause the nuts to form. When 
ripe, dig up the vines and hang up to dry.

early variety and very prolific. Best to plant in the North.
