PARSNIPS 
As seed is slow to germinate, plant only new seed and use 
it liberally. Sow in April or early in May, in rows 12 to 15 
inches apart; cover not more than ¥ inch and press the 
earth firmly on the seed. When well up, thin the plants to 
4 inches apart in the row. Parsnips are improved by frost. 
One ounce will sow about 200 feet of drill; 
5 to 6 lbs. to one acre 
ideal Champion Hollow Crown. Roots long, white, 
smooth, free from side roots; tender, sweet, and of ex- 
cellent flavor. Pkt. 10c; 0z. 20c; "Alb. 40c; Ib. $1.25 
Long White Sugar. A great cropper, tender and sugary; 
roots smooth and long. An old standard sort. 
Pkt. 10c; 0z. 20c; 14lb. 40c; Ib. $1.25 
PEAS 
For the Garden 
Two pounds will plant 100 feet of drill; 84 lbs. for one acre 
For a first-early crop, sow Improved East Hartford Extra 
Early as soon as the ground can be worked in spring. Select 
a rich, light, sandy soil, dry and well sheltered. 
For the general crop, a deep, rich loam Is best; the soil 
cannot be too rich for the dwarf varieties. Avoid coarse, 
rank manure, as it drives the plants to vines without pods. 
For market crop, sow in rows 2 to 4 feet apart, according 
to the variety. In the kitchen garden, sow the tall varieties 
in double rows 6 to 8 inches apart, and stick brush firmly 
between the rows when the vines are about 6 inches high. 
Sow the dwarf varieties in single rows a foot apart; cover 
2 to 4 inches, according to the character of the soil and the 
time of planting—deepest on light soils and in late planting. 
Deep planting prevents mildew and prolongs the bearing 
season, yet in cold, heavy soils the seed is likely to rot if 
planted deep. If drills are made 5 inches deep and the seed 
covered only 1 or 2 inches, the earth can be gradually 
drawn into the trench as the plants grow. The wrinkled 
varieties are not so hardy as the hard, smooth sorts, and 
cannot be planted so early; they are, however, the sweetest. 
One pound equals heaping pint; 
two pounds equal heaping quart

PARSLEY for Seasoning and Garnishing 
This seed is very slow to germinate, and usually two or 
three weeks will elapse after sowing before the plants make 
an appearance. To hasten it, soak a few hours in tepid 
water, and when it swells sow thickly in shallow drills 1 
foot apart, and cover lightly. Thin out the plants to 4 
inches apart in the row. It can be forwarded by starting 
in the hotbed in February and transplanting to the open 
ground Jater. 
One ounce will sow 150 feet of drill
