PARSLEY 
Typical plant of Paramount (Improved Moss Curled) Parsley. 
Plant 1 packet to 150 feet of row, or 2 pounds per acre. 
In the garden plant 1 packet to 30 feet of row for a family 
of 3 or 4 people. 
Culture. Parsley can be planted in the fall or spring, in drills 
15 to 18 inches apart, and thin to 10 to 12 inches in the row. 
Seed is slow to germinate and it usually takes from two to three 
weeks to produce a satisfactory stand. 
PARAMOUNT (Improved Moss Curled). (90 days from 
seed planting to first harvest.) Plant very vigorous in growth, 
usually 12 inches tall and spreading 20 inches when given suffi- 
cient room, with very long, stout stems for bunching. Color is 
an unusually dark green. ‘This variety has been highly bred 
and selected for uniform, attractive, triple-curled leaves of very 
dark green color.

5 to 25 Ibs. $1.65 per Ib. 
PARSNIP 
Plant 14 ounce to 150 feet of row. 
In the garden plant 1 packet to 50 feet of row for a family 
of 3 or 4 people. 
Culture. Parsnips do best on deep, rich, sandy soil. Sow seed 
in Florida from September to December, in rows 11% to 2 feet 
apart; cover with one-half inch of soil. When plants are well 
up, thin to 4 inches apart in row. Parsnip seed germinates very 
slowly. The Parsnip is a winter vegetable. It has more starch 
and sugar than other root crops. ‘To prepare, cook roots one 
hour in water, scrape off the skin. Slice or chop coarsely or 
mash, and season with milk, pepper and salt, or slices may be 
fried after seasoning. A delicious and nutritious dish.

PEAS 
ENGLISH OR GARDEN 
Our pea seed is high germinating, guaranteed western-grown 
stock, all carefully milled, hand picked and fitted for the 
critical grower. 
Plant 1 bushel (56 Ibs.) per acre in single rows; 112 bushels 
(84 Ibs.) per acre in double rows. 
In the garden make three plantings at different times. 
Plant 14 pound to 100 feet of row at each planting for a 
family of 3 or 4 people. 
(120 days from seeding 
Although there are hundreds of distinct varieties of English or 
Garden Peas, we list only two which we have found par- 
ticularly well adapted to Florida growing conditions, and on 
which two varieties we have concentrated our efforts in an 
endeavor to maintain stocks second to none for Florida. Our 
plant breeders are continually improving the varieties we list 
by using pedigreed stocks in the production of our seed crops. 
Culture. English peas are very hardy and are not commonly 
attacked by insects. Peas can be grown on almost any kind of 
soil and with about the same cultivation as beans. Planting 
in double rows, six to eight inches apart, is a good plan, because 
this enables the plants to support each other. Single rows 
should be spaced two and a half to three feet apart, and double 
rows three to three and a half feet apart from center of double 
rows. Drop seed | to 2 inches apart in the row, and cover 114 
to 2 inches deep. By working the soil up against the stems of 
the plants they will bear much longer. Use a high grade fer- 
tilizer, such as a 4-7-5 mixture, at the rate of 1,000 to 1,200 
pounds per acre. To control soil diseases, and to get better 
stands, more vigorous growth and increased yields, treat seed 
with “Spergon Seed Protectant” at the rate of two ounces per 
bushel of seed (see pages 52 and 62). Being a legume, the 
seed should be inoculated with Nitragin. (See page 69.)

will vary in different sections and in different seasons.

HUNDREDFOLD (Kilgore’s Winner). (53 days.) This variety 
was introduced by us and it has become very popular. It is one 
of the finest large early peas for Florida sandy loam soils, and 
in cool seasons is also adapted to Florida muck soils. As it is a 
very early, large podded variety, it is in great demand on 
northern markets. It is a surer cropper and a better yielder 
than other early large podded varieties. The plants are vigor- 
ous in growth, eighteen to twenty-two inches in height, with 
heavy, very dark green vine and foliage, producing a great 
abundance of very large (4 to 4% inches long) broad, deep 
green, straight pointed pods containing usually eight large 
dark green peas of unsurpassed quality. A very desirable sort 
for home gardens and for shipping to markets desiring a large 
podded pea of high quality.

LITTLE MARVEL. (52 days.) By far the most popular and 
extensively grown pea for Florida, because of its exceptionally 
high quality, earliness and consistently high yield of well filled 
pods. The most desirable early variety, especially well adapted 
to Florida muck soils where it is a sure cropper with well filled 
pods, even in warm seasons. The vines are vigorous, stocky, 
dark green in color, growing about 1% feet tall, and are 
literally loaded with single and double, straight, round, blunt, 
very dark green, plump pods about 3 inches long, well filled 
with 7 to 8 tender peas. A heavy yielder and sure-cropper, 
valuable for home garden and for early shipping.

Little Marvel, a heavy yielding, early maturing, sure-cropper, 
especially well adapted to Florida.
