ALASKA 
Culture—The extra early or smooth seeded 
varieties are very hardy and can be planted 
by January 15th, or as early in the spring as 
the ground can be worked and until April 15th 
or later, while the wrinkled varieties are not 
as hardy and should not be planted until 
March lst or later, as they are likely to rot 
if planted in cold, wet ground. The wrinkled 
varieties, however, are generally sweeter and 
of better flavor. Peas thrive best when planted 
in light, loamy soil, which has been well fer- 
tilized the previous autumn, as fresh, rank 
manure applied when planting produces too 
heavy a growth of vine. Plant in rows about 
3 feet apart and cover 2 to 3 inches.

PARSLEY 
Culture—Sow in March or April in rich, mel- 
low soil in rows 12 inches apart, covering the 
seed about 14 inch, pressing down the soil 
after sowing. Parsley seed is very slow to 
germinate, often requiring a month or more. 
It is, therefore, best to soak the seed 24 to 48 
hours before sowing, to hasten germination, 
covering the rows with boards or old bags to 
retain the moisture and prevent washing from 
the heavy rains. One ounce will sow about 
150 feet. 
CHAMPION MOSS CURLED—We consider 
this the best and most satisfactory va- 
riety to grow for garnishing and flavor- 
ing soups, etc. The leaves are beautifully 
and very densely curled and crimped 
like luxuriant moss. Is also used as an 
ornamental plant for walks and borders.
