ONION SETS 
Onion sets used instead of seeds will 
produce earlier crops of green onions 
or large bulbs. Plant sets right side up 
and cover with garden rake; then firm 
the soil well over the sets. 
The quickest way to get onions early. 
We offer choice, select, dry sets, of the 
highest quality. (Prices on applica- 
tion.) 
RED. WHITE. 
PARSLEY 
Does best in rich, mellow loam. Seed 
is slow to germinate, and is helped by 
soaking in warm water over night be- 
fore planting. Sow early and not too 
deeply. When curled varieties are 
about 3” tall, cut off leaves. The new 
érowth will be brighter and curlier.

cut, plain leaves. Edible roots, thick

Plant and Can 
Fill up your shelves with 
plenty of grand home- 
canned vegetables from 
your own garden! 
Plan your garden to include 
plenty of vegetables for mar- 
ket and table needs—and a 
surplus to can! Home canned 
foods are infinitely superior in 
flavor, vitamin content and 
appearance. And how they do 
help to stretch the family food 
budget! 
PARSNIP 
Plant in rich, sandy loam, thoroughly 
pulverized. Seed requires plenty of 
moisture for germination and should 
be sown early. Dig after a killing frost. 
Freezing improves parsnips, so some 
can be left in the ground all winter and 
used in spring. For storage, bury in 
dry sand. 
Hollow Crown — The most generally 
grown kind. Roots 21 to 3-in. thick at 
shoulder. 12 to 14-in. long, uniformly 
tapered, hollow crowned. 95 days. Pkt. 
10c, 
PEAS 
For early crop, plant in light, rich soil. 
For general crop, a rich loam or clay 
soil is best. Plant at 2-week intervals 
for continuous supply. Soak seeds in 
water the night before planting. Peas 
need moderate temperature, plenty of 
moisture. Light frosts do not injure 
them so they may be planted early in 
spring. Varieties more than 11’ tall 
should be staked when 4” to 6” tall. 
Early and Second Variety 
Alaska—Wilt resistant. Used for can- 
ning and early home garden. Blunt, 
straight, light-green, 3-in. pods with 6 
to 8 good quality small peas. Plant 
32-in. 60 days. 
Laxton’s Progress—Medium dark green 
vine, 16 to 18-in. Single pods almost 
an inch wide and 414 to 5-in. long, with 
7 to 9 large peas. 62 days. 
Little Marvel — Outstanding dwarf. 
Fine quality, large yield. Single and 
double, dark green, 3-in. pods—blunt, 
plump, well filled with 7 to 8 medium 
sized, light green tender peas. 62 days. 
Thomas Laxton — Medium height. 
Strong vine bears numerous dark 
green, blunt ended pods, 4 to 414-in. 
Retains flavor and sweetness. One of 
earliest. 57 days. 
SR Sh een ee NERC 
For increased yield, inoculate! Garden peas, 
like all legume crops, will almost always 
benefit by inoculation. Both quantity and 
quality of the crop are increased when the 
beneficial nitrogen-fixing bacteria are pres- 
ent in sufficient numbers.
