Yellow Globe Danvers Onions 
ONION 
Small Onions from Seed. Easily grown from seed sown in 
fine, well-prepared soii early in the spring, the seed covered with 
a little fine soil pressed down firmly above it. When the seedlings 
are 3 to 4 inches high, thin them out to stand about 2 inches apart. 
Large Onions from Seed. If possible sow seed in hotbeds 
early in February, thinning the seedlings enough to prevent 
crowding, and transplanting to the open ground early in May, 
spacing them 4 to 6 inches apart, depending on variety. If hot- 
beds are not available, sow the seed in the garden as early as the 
soil can be put in shape. Thin promptly. 
An ounce of seed will sow about 100 feet of row; 
5 to 6 pounds will sow an acre

PARSLEY 
Sow the seed as early in the spring as possible, half an inch 
deep. The seed is very slow to germinate, sometimes requiring 
six to eight weeks. Soaking it in lukewarm water for a few hours 
before sowing will help to hasten it. Thin to stand about 4 inches 
apart. Parsley beds may be carried over winter in a frame or by 
mulching with leaves or straw. 
An ounce of seed will sow 150 feet of drill; 8 pounds will sow an acre 
Champion Moss Curled. Can be cut the year round. Leaves 
attractively crimped and curled. Pkt. 10 cts., oz. 15 cts.,

Pkt. 10 cts., oz. 15 cts., Y%lb. 40 cts., Ib. $1.

Pkt. 10 cts., oz. 15 cts., 4lb. 40 cts., Ib. $1. 
PARSNIP 
Prepare the ground as early as it can be worked and sow the 
seed half an inch deep, and when the plants are well up thin to 
6 inches apart. The roots mature in the fall and, being perfectly 
hardy, may be left in the ground all winter, to be dug as needed. 
Their flavor is improved by freezing. 
An ounce of seed will sow 150 feet of row; 8 pounds will sow an acre 
Guernsey. Thicker at the top and not quite so long as some;

grained flesh. Pkt. 10 cts., oz. 20 cts., 4lb. 65 cts., Ib. $2.
