HOLLOW CROWN THICK SHOULDER

ness and tenderness are increased by moderate freezing. 

HOLLOW CROWN THICK SHOULDER PARSNIP 
_ MODEL 
A very smooth, snow white, hollow crown parsnip. Roots not too long and 
with unusual smoothness. 
PEAS 
A packet will sow about 20 feet of row, a pound 100 feet, two to four bushels 
per acre. 
For best results peas require moderate temperature, plenty of moisture and long daylight hours. 
They are not injured by light frosts and should be sown as early as the condition of the soil will 
permit. The seed should be planted at a depth of 1% to 2 inches in rows 21 to 28 inches apart for 
dwarf varieties and 28 to 42 inches apart for the taller sorts. All varieties growing more than 1 4 feet 
high will do better if staked or otherwise supported when 4 to 6 inches tall. It is best to sow early, 
medium and late kinds at the same time in order to obtain a succession. A succession can also be 
obtained by making successive plantings of a desirable variety but this cannot be extended over as 
long a period with good results. The crop should always be gathered as fast as it is fit for use. If even 
a few pods begin to ripen, not only will new pods cease to form, but those partly advanced will stop growing.
