PEAS 
CULTURE. One pound will sow 100 feet. Light, moderately rich 
soil is best for this crop. Sowing of first early varieties should 
be made in October, and the other varieties in the early spring. 
Peas are sown in single or double rows from 2 to 6 feet apart, 
according to the variety or height to which they attain. Dwarf 
varieties are planted 2 feet apart, and those of medium sorts 3 
feet to 4 feet apart. Tall varieties from 5 to 6 feet apart.

grow about 4 inches long, are deep green, well filled with 8 
or 9 large peas of a rich dark green. The seeds are blue, semi- 
wrinkled, can be sown as soon as the ground can be worked, 
as they are very hardy and will not rot. Height 2 to 2 feet.

home, market garden and shipping. Vines dwarf; 20 inches

PARSLEY 
CULTURE. Sow in March or April in rich, mellow soil in rows 
12 inches apart, covering the seed about 4 inch, pressing 
down the soil after sowing. Parsley seed is very slow to ger- 
minate, 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. *
