PARSLEY 
Does best in rich, méllow loam. Seed 
is slow to germinate, and is helped 
by soaking in warm water over night 
before 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. 
Moss Curled or Triple Curled—Com- 
pact, dark green leaves, curled and fine- 
cut. 70 days. 
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 (fr}—The most generally 
grown kind. Roots 242 to 3-in. thick at 
shoulder. 12 to 14-in. long, uniformly 
tapered, hollow crowned. 95 days. 
PEAS 
Early peas need a light, warm soil; 
but general crop thrives best in mod- 
erately heavy soil. (Avoid fresh ma- 
nure and very rich or wet, mucky soil 
as this produces large growth of vine 
at the cost of quality of the peas.) 
Plant seed in rows at 2” depth. Keep 
rows 21” to 28” apart for dwarf va- 
rieties and 28” to 42’’ for the taller 
types. Gather crop as fast as it is fit 
to use or new pods will cease to form 
and those partly advanced will cease 
growth.
