All ce9elable seods 
PARSLEY 
Does best in rich, mellow 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. 
Champion Moss Curled—Compact, dark 
green leaves, curled and fine-cut. 70 
days. 
Hamburg or Rooted—Large tapering 
roots resembles small parsnips, Excel- 
lent for food flavoring. 
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 2¥% 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. 
Blue Bantam—Best of the early dwarf 
large-podded varieties. Vines 24-30 
inches tall. Long pods containing 7-8 
large, succulent peas. 62 days. 
Gradus or Prosperity—Medium green 
stocky plant. Broad, pointed single 
pods, medium green. 6 to 8 wrinkled 
tender peas in tapered pods. 60 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. 
Tall Telephone (fr)—Large podded va- 
riety of the Telephone family. Excel- 
lent for home gardens, truckers, ship- 
ping to distant markets and for freez- 
ing; resistant to Fusarium wilt. Vine 
dark green, coarse. 
PRIZE WINNER! 
Freezonian All America Bronze 
Medal Winner of 1948—Luscious, 
melting peas that retain their gar- 
den fresh sweet flavor after freez- 
ing. The vigorous two and a half

excellent crop of 3% inch pods 
well packed with 8 or 9 medium 
sized peas, 63 days. Pkt. 15c. 
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 
fertilizer. Do not plant hot peppers 
near sweet; they are apt to cross.

California Wonder Improved—Number 
one quality peppers, about 4-in. long

riety, popular as a pickling sort. Fruits 
2 inches in diameter and 3 inches long, 
Usually mild and sweet, occasionally

seeds to a hill. If planted in hills, cul- 
tivate the same as melons and cu- 
cumbers. For winter use gather before

PUMPKIN, Sugar 
Sugar or Sweet Pie—Desirable for pie 
or general use. Round, flat end fruit, 
deep orange. Thick, yellow-orange 
flesh. 118 days. 
RADISH 
Soil should be light, quick and rich 
to insure rapid growth. Slow growth 
makes the flavor too strong. Sow as 
early as ground can be worked, as 
Radishes are very hardy. Make suc- 
cessive sowings up to hot weather. 
When in the third leaf, thin to give 
roots plenty of room. Pull promptly 
when mature. The secret of crisp, de- 
licious radishes is quick growths, 
prompt picking.

Crisp and tender. Remains good for 
long period. Best Radish for home use. 
25 days.
