PARSHIP 
IMPROVED HOLLOW CROWN 
This productive variety matures in 
about 133 days. The roots vary from 10 
to 13 inches in length, and 2 to 3 inches 
in diameter at the shoulder. The skin is 
creamy in color, the flesh a creamy 
white, and the former having scattered 
tidges. Its flesh is brittle yet tender, and 
is an ideal variety for home use. Par- 
snip seed can be sown early in the 
spring, using an ounce of seed to 200 
feet of row. Seed should be covered '/2 
inch deep in rows 18 to 24 inches apart. 
The seedlings should be thinned grad- 
ually until the plants are finally 2 to 3 
inches apart. The care is like that for 
beets or carrots.

PEPPERS 
Pepper Seed should be planted in the hotbed 
8 to 10 weeks before time to transplant in the 
open field. Sow the seed at a depth of about 
one-half inch in the hotbed. Pepper plants re- 
quire more heat than tomato or cabbage plants, 
and if possible should be grown in separate 
beds. When the ground is thoroughly warm in 
the spring, set the plants in rows 2 to 3 feet ‘ 
apart and the plants 2 feet apart in the row.
