PARSLEY 
Plant 1 packet to 150 feet of row, or 2 pounds per acre. 
In the garden plant 1 packet to 30 feet of row for a 
family of 3 or 4 people. 
CuttureE. Parsley can be planted in the fall or spring, in drills 
15 to 18 inches apart, and thin to 10 to 12 inches in the row. 
Seed is very hard to germinate and it usually takes from two 
to three weeks to produce a satisfactory stand. Leaves are used 
to flavor and add color to soups and stews, and to garnish or 
decorate salads, meats and fish. 
PARAMOUNT (Improved Moss Curled). (90 days from 
seed planting to first harvest.) Plant very vigorous in growth, 
usually 12 inches tall and spreading 20 inches when given suf- 
ficient room, with very long, stout stems for bunching. Color 
is an unusually dark green. This variety has been most highly 
bred and selected for uniform, attractive, triple curled leaves 
of very dark green color.

PARSNIP 
Plant 14 ounce to 150 feet of row. 
In the garden plant 1] packet to 50 feet of row for a 
family of 3 or 4 people. 
CuLtureE. Parsnips do best on deep, rich, sandy soil. Sow seed 
in Florida from September to December, in rows 1% to 2 feet 
apart; cover with one-half inch of soil. When plants are well 
up, thin to 4 inches apart in row. Parsnip seed germinates 
very slowly. The Parsnip is a winter vegetable. It has more 
starch and sugar than other root crops. To prepare, cook roots 
one hour in water, scrape off the skin. Slice or chop coarsely 
or mash, and season with milk, pepper and salt, or slices may 
be fried after seasoning. A delicious and nutritious dish.

PEAS 
ENGLISH OR GARDEN 
Our pea seed is high germinating, guaranteed western- 
grown stock, all carefully milled, hand picked and fitted 
for the critical grower. 
Plant 1 bushel (56 lbs.) per acre in single rows; 11% 
bushels (84 Ibs.) per acre in double rows. 
In the garden make three plantings at different times. 
Plant 44 pound to 100 feet of row at each planting for 
a family of 3 or 4 people. 
(120 days from seeding 
Although there are hundreds of distinct varieties of English 
or Garden Peas, we list only a few which we have found par- 
ticularly well adapted to Florida growing conditions, and on 
which few varieties we have concentrated our efforts in an 
endeavor to maintain stocks second to none for Florida. Our 
plant breeders are continually improving the varieties we list 
by using pedigreed stocks in the production of our seed crops. 
Cu.ture. English Peas are very hardy and are not common- 
ly attacked by insects. Frost does not hurt them, except while 
in blossom, and then only that part of the crop in bloom; they 
will put on another set immediately. If frost destroys the 
bloom it is a good idea to give the plants an application of a 
commercial fertilizer high in available nitrogen, at the rate of 
200 pounds per acre. Peas can be grown on almost any kind 
of soil and with about the same cultivation as beans. Planting 
in double rows, six to eight inches apart, is a good plan, be- 
cause this enables the plants to support each other. Single 
rows should be spaced two and a half to three feet apart, and 
double rows three to three and a half feet apart from center 
of double rows. Drop seed 1 to 2 inches apart in the row, and 
cover 1144 to 2 inches deep. By working the soil up against 
the stems of the plants they will bear much longer. Use a high 
grade fertilizer, such as a 4-7-5 mixture, at the rate of 1,000 to 
1,200 pounds per acre. To control soil diseases, and to get bet- 

Little Marvel, a heavy yielding, sure-cropper, especially 
well adapted to Florida muck. 
ter stands, more vigorous growth and increased yields, treat 
seed with Spergon at the rate of two and a half ounces per 
bushel of seed (see pages 48 and 52). 
The number of days in parentheses after each variety named 
indicates the relative time from planting to first picking. This 
time will vary in different sections and in different seasons. 
Our pea seed is strictly first class, high germinating, 
disease-free, western-grown stock, and our different vari- 
eties are absolutely true to type.

LITTLE MARVEL. (52 days.) By far the most popular 
and extensively grown pea for Florida, because of its exception- 
ally high quality, earliness and consistently high yield of well 
filled pods. The most desirable early variety, especially well 
adapted to Florida muck soils where it is a sure cropper with 
well-filled pods, even in warm seasons. The vines are vigorous, 
stocky, dark green in color, growing about 1% feet tall, and 
are literally loaded with single and double, straight, round, 
blunt, very dark green, plump pods about 3 inches long, well- 
filled with 7 to 8 tender peas. A heavy yielder and sure-crop- 
per, valuable. for home garden and for early shipping.

KILGORE’S WINNER (Improved Hundredfold). (53 
days.) This variety was introduced by us and it has become 
very popular. It is one of the finest large early peas for Florida 
sandy loam soils, and in cool seasons is also adapted to Florida 
muck soils. As it is a very early, exceedingly large-podded 
variety, it is in great demand on northern markets. It is a surer 
cropper and a better yielder than other early large-podded va- 
rieties. The plants are vigorous in growth, eighteen to twenty- 
two inches in height, with heavy, very dark green vine and 
foliage, producing a great abundance of very large (4 to 
4% inches long) broad, deep green, straight pointed pods con- 
taining usually eight large, dark green peas of unsurpassed 
quality. A very desirable sort for home gardens and for ship- 
ping to markets desiring a large podded pea of high quality.

THOMAS LAXTON. (50 days.) A very popular and prof- 
itable variety for sandy loam soils. The vines are of rather 
vigorous growth reaching a height of 2% to 3 feet and are very 
productive. The rich, deep green colored pods are large, aver- 
aging three and one-half to three and three-quarter inches long, 
are straight, nearly round, and square ended, containing usually 
seven medium dark green peas of superior quality. Our im- 
proved, dark podded strain is very early, and has darker col- 
ored, more attractive pods than other strains of Thomas Laxton. 
Sold out. No seed available until fall 1946.
