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 application.) 
RED WHITE YELLOW 
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 growth 
will be brighter and curlier. 
Hamburg or Parsnip Rooted—Deeply 
cut, plain leaves. Edible roots, thick 
and fleshy, 10 to 12-in. long. Used for 
flavoring. 90 days. 
Mess Curled or Triple Curled—Com- 
pact, dark green leaves, curled and fine- 
cut. 70 days. 
Plain or Single—Leaves dark green, 
flat, deeply cut, but not curled. 60 days. 

WHITE PORTUGAL 
EBENEZER SOUTHPORT 
Red Globe 
PARSNIP Thomas Laxton (fr)—Medium height. 
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 2’ 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 12’ 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 41% to 5-in. long, with 
7 to 9 large peas. 62 days. 
Little Marvel (fr)—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. 

THE OLD GARDENER says, 
“Now, talking about corn, don’t forget — 
SWEET CORN is at its best if you will 
sook it less than an hour after you 
jather it. As soon as it’s picked, the 
lelicate sugars begin to turn to starch, 
ynd six hours after it’s off the stalk, 
nost of the true sugar flavor is gone. 
Which means that for most folks, if they 
want the true flavor of sweet corn, they 
just have to grow 
their own. 
The new hybrid 
varieties are really 
wonderful — husky 
stalks that produce 
ample ears even 
when the open-pol- 
linated sorts fail. But 
when you plant hy- 
orid sweet corns, 
oetter grow more 
14 

than one variety because they pollinate 
better when several kinds of pollen are 
flying at the same time. And for best 
pollination, don't plant one or two long 
rows of corn down one side of the gar- 
den: instead, plant six or more short 
rows side by side. Remember, corn pol- 
len is carried on the wind and the wind 
must hit all the 
stalks in the field or 
patch if they are to 
grow well-filled 
ears. 
The sweet corns il- 
Iustrated here are: 
I1—Golden Bantam; 
2—Golden Cross 
Bantam; 3—Country 
Gentleman. 

Strong vine bears numerous dark green, 
blunt ended pods, 4 to 4’2-in. Retains 
flavor and sweetness. One of earliest. 
57 days.

PEPPERS 
Warm, mellow soil in sheltered loca- 
tion is best. Start under glass. Culti- 
vate regularly, drawing soil up around 
stems. When plants are 7” to 8” tall, 
hoe in light dressing of commercial fer- 
tilizer. Do not plant hot peppers near 
sweet; they are apt to cross.

one quality peppers, about 4-in. long
