PARSNIP 
One ounce will sow 150 feet of row. 
Use a deep, rich sandy soil, although any deep, mellow, moder- 
ately rich soil will produce good roots. Sow as early in spring as 
possible in rows which are 1|/ feet apart, covering firmly with ¥% 
inch of fine soil. When plants are well up, thin to 2 or 3 inches 
apart in the row. Cultivate frequently. Parsnip seed is slow to 
germinate; sowing should be made early and soil pressed down 
firmly over seeds.

thick at shoulder; tapered smooth. Pkt. 10c. 
Short, Thick. Roots short and thick, about 2% to 3% inches in

Crown. Tender, sweet, easy to pull. Delicate flavor. Pkt. 10c. 
KNOX’S IMPROVED PEAS 
Write for prices in large quantities. 
One pound will show 60 feet of row. Light, moderately rich soil 
is best for this crop. Sowing of the first early variety should be 
made in October, and the other varieties for successive crops. 
Plant every two weeks until the first of April. Peas are sown in 
single or double rows, from 2 to 6 feet apart, according to the 
variety or height to which they attain. Have the rows of the 
dwarf varieties 2 feet apart, and those of the medium sorts from 
3 to 4 feet apart, and the tall varieties from 5 to 6 feet apart.

KNOX’S PUMPKINS 
Pumpkins are frequently planted in connection with a crop of 
field corn, and if you grow corn you may just as well grow 
pumpkins. They will grow best in soil kept moist by the dry 
farming method, as too much moisture will kill them. Plant the 
seed in open ground after the danger of frost is over, in hills 8 
feet apart each way; drop from 8 to 10 seeds per hill and when the 
plants are about 5 inches high and danger of insect pests is past, 
thin to 3 or 4 of the healthiest plants. If irrigation is needed, run the 
water in ditches about 18 inches from the hill. About 3 pounds of 
seed will plant one acre.
