BOISE, IDAHO 
PARSLEY 
CULTURE—Parsley succeeds best in ricn, mellow soil. As 
the seeds germinate very slowly, 3 to 4 weeks elapse some- 
times before it makes its appearance. It should be sown early 
in the spring, previously soaking the seed for a few hours in 
tepid water. Sow thickly in rows a foot apart and half an 
inch deep. One ounce to 150 feet of drill. 
Champion Moss or Triple Curled Parsley. The leaves are finely 
cut and curled and of a dark green color. Extra fine for gar- 
nishing and culinary purposes. Pkt. 5c; oz. 15¢; 44 Ib. 30¢; Ib. $1. 
Turnip Rooted or Hamburg. The root is the edible portion 
and represents a small parsnip in shape and color. Flesh 
white and flavored like celeriac. Foliage same as plain parsley. 
Pkt. 5¢; oz. 15¢; 4 Ib. 30c; Ib. 75c. 

PARSNIP 
Sugar or Hollow Crown. The best for table use, a vegetable 
of merit, easily raised, and of great productiveness. Pkt. 5c; 
oz. 15c; %4 Ib. 35e; Ib. $1.00. 
PEAS 
CULTURE—Peas do best in sandy soil, not too rich or they 
will run up to vines. The smooth kinds can be sown as soon 
as the ground can be worked, but the wrinkled varieties should 
not be planted till it is warmer or they will rot. Sow in single 
or double rows from 1% to 3 feet apart, dropping a pea every 
inch and covering from 2 to 3 inches deep. For a succession, 
sow every ten days up to July. One pound to 50 feet of drill, 
90 to 120 pounds to the acre. 
In ordering peas alone, add 8c for single pound. Larger 
amounts postpaid in full.
