ibs. to acre. 
ft, dark, sandy loam, not too fine. This is 
much better if it has been cultivated with hoed crops, 
kept clean from weeds and well manured for two years 
previous, because if a sufficient quantity of manure to 
raise an ordinary soil to a proper degree of fertility is 
applied at once, it is likely to make the onions soft. 
SOWING THE SEED. This should be done as soon as 
the ground can be made ready and can be done best by a 
hand seed drill. This should be carefully adjusted to sow 
the desired quantity of seed about one-half inch deep. 
The quantity depends on the soil and kind of onions de- 
sired. Four to five pounds is the quantity used for an acre 
to grow large onions.

PARSLEY 
2 oz. to 100-ft. row. 3 lbs. to acre. 
CULTURE. The seed is very slow to germinate and 
should be sown very early in the spring, previously 
soaking the seed for a few hours in warm water. Sow 
in drills 1 foot apart, and when the plants are well up 
thin to 1 foot in the row. When the plants are about 3 
inches high cut off all the leaves; the plant will be 
brighter and better curled; every cutting will result in 
improvement. One ounce to 150 feet of drill.

CULTURE, Plant as early in the spring as the weather 
will permit till the middle of June. Plant % inch deep in 
a rich, deeply worked, sandy loam, in rows 18 inches 
apart, cover lightly, and when 2 inches high thin out to 
4 to 5 inches apart. Parsnips germinate slowly, especially 
in dry weather; plant a few radish seeds with them to 
mark the row for early cultivation. Parsnips are improved 
by frost, so they can be dug as wanted, or stored for win- 
ter use. Pkt. Oz. Y4 Lb,

PEPPERS 
Ye oz. to 100-ft. row. 1 oz. to 1500 plants. 2 lbs. to acre. 
CULTURE. Peppers should be started in a hotbed or 
cold frame and transplanted about the end of May into a 
sunny comer of the garden, in rows about 2 feet apart, 
with the plants about the same distance between them 
in the rows. In warmer sections they can also be sown 
in open ground in a prepared seedbed when all danger 
from frost has passed, the weather has become settled 
and the soil warm. When the little plants are about 3 
inches in height, transplant as above into the rows where 
they are to remain. Some very rich fertilizer stirred into 
the soil when the plants are about 6 inches high, will be 
found very beneficial to the crop. The peppers intended 
for mangoes should not be grown near the hot varieties, 
or they will partake of their fiery nature.

frames or seed bed, using soil well enriched with wood 
shes, etc. Transplant to open ground when weather

GARDEN PEAS 
1 lb. to 100-ft. row. 60 lbs. to acre. 
CULTURE. For early peas the soil should be light and 
warm, but for general crop a moderately heavy soil is 
better. Fresh manure and very rich or mucky soil should 
be avoided as they cause a rank growth of vine at the 
cost of the quality of the peas. Sow as early as possible 
a few of some early variety on warm, quick soil, prepared 
the fall before, planting in double rows 6 to 8 inches apart 
and 2¥% to 4 feet between the double rows. Larger pods 
and more of them will be produced if the seed be planted 
in trenches 3 to 6 inches deep and covered with only 
1 or 2 inches of soil; when the plants are 5 to 6 inches 
high fill the trench level with the surface. If the peas be 
covered to the full depth at first, or if water be allowed to 
stand in the trenches, they will not germinate or grow 
well. All varieties growing more than 1% feet do better 
if staked up or brushed when 4 to 6 inches high. The 
support is usually given by sharpened branches of trees 
set between the double rows.

PUMPKINS 
3% oz. to 100 hills. 3 to 4 lbs. to acre. 
CULTURE. Pumpkins are not so particular in regard to 
soil as melons or cucumbers, but are cultivated the same, 
though on a larger scale. They are raised between hills 
of com or in fields by themselves. After danger of frost 
is over plant the seed in hills 8 to 10 feet apart each way, 
dropping about a dozen seeds in each hill. Have the soil 
as rich as possible.

RADISHES 
2-3 oz. to 100-ft. row. 12 lbs. to acre. 
CULTURE. To be tender and crisp, radishes must be 
grown quickly—and quick growth requires rich soil and 
plenty of moisture. Commencing with the first mild spell 
of weather in the Spring, sow at intervals of 10 days in 
a light rich soil that has been deeply dug. They can also 
be grown as a catch crop between the rows of beets, 
lettuce, onions, etc. Radishes can be forced in the hotbeds, 
but they must have plenty of ventilation and moisture.

RHUBARB or Pie Plant 
CULTURE. Plant in March or April in a shaded place, 
and when a few inches high thin to 12 inches apart, and 
in the fall or following spring transplant 4 feet apart. The 
best stalks are produced the second year, but it continues - 
to produce for several years. Apply plenty of manure. Our 
rhubarb makes fleshy stalks of the best quality and flavor. 
VICTORIA GIANT—This is a very large and late variety, 
with round stalks of great length and thickness; pro- 
duces a succession of stalks the whole season; held in 
high esteem by market gardeners. Pkt., 15c¢; oz., 50c; 
% tb., $1.35. 
RHUBARB ROOTS-—Large roots, each 15c; two for 25c: 
per dozen, $1.25; per 100, $8.00. Add 5c each tor post- 
age if to go by mail. 
RUTABAGAS 
CULTURE. Sow the seeds a month earlier than turnips. 
Rutabagas should be sown on ground enriched with well 
rotted manure, in drills 242 feet apart, and should be ~ 
thinned to 6 to 8 inches apart in the row. 
PURPLE TOP YELLOW-—Leading yellow variety; very 
productive, solid and excellent flavor; the roots grow 
to a large size, and are of the finest quality; unsur- 
passed for stock feeding. 90 days. Pkt., 10c; oz., 25c; 
Ys Ib., 55c. 
SALSIFY 
(OYSTER PLANT) 
¥_4 oz. to 100-ft. row. 8 Ibs. to acre. 
One of the most desirable winter vegetables. The roots 
when cooked are very palatable and are served in a 
variety of different ways. 
CULTURE. It succeeds best in a light, well enriched 
soil; coarse and fresh manure should be avoided, as it 
will surely cause the roots to grow uneven and ill-shaped. 
Sow the seed as early as possible, and quite deep in 
drills about 18 inches apart and thin the plants to 3 
inches in the row. 
MAMMOTH SANDWICH ISLAND—This variety grows 
to an extra large size, averaging fully double the size 
and weight of roots of the old French variety. 95 days. 
Pkt;, 15c: oz. 7oc; 4 \b:, $2.25. 
TURNIP 
CULTURE. First early varieties of turnips should be 
planted just as early in the spring as the ground is dry 
and warm. You may sow them in drills, beds or late 
broadcast, or among corn. The Winter Rutabaga varieties 
and also the early sorts will do better if planted in drills. 
Make the drills at least 18 inches apart, and then thin out 
the plants when well up to from 6 inches apart down to 
3 inches, according to the variety.
