PARSLEY 
One ounce will plant a row 100 feet long; 3 Ibs. will plant an acre 
in 18-inch rows; or 5 Ibs. for an acre 10 inches apart on 4-foot beds. 
Culture: Parsley seed is very slow in germinating, often requiring a month and may be 
sown either in the early spring or fall, in rich, mellow soil, one-eighth of an inch deep, the 
surface then being made very firm. Keep the weeds down by frequent hoeing, and when 
the plants get strong thin from 6 to 9 inches apart. Market gardeners will find it profitable 
to sow Parsley in cold frames in August to winter over for early spring gathering. 
EXTRA TRIPLE CURLED. (68 days.) For either market or the home garden we 
strongly recommended our market gardeners strain of this 
variety. The color is very dark green and the leaves are most beautifully curled. Pkt., 10¢; 
oz., 20c; 14 |b., 55c¢, postpaid.

Extra Triple Curled Parsley 
PARSNIPS 
One ounce will plant a row 100 feet long; 4 to 6 Ibs. for an acre. 
Culture: Sow very thickly one-fourth inch deep from March to August, in drills 
12 inches apart in deep, rich, sandy loam, which has been well manured for a 
previous crop. When the plants are 2 to 3 inches high, thin out from 4 to 6 
inches apart and cultivate frequently to keep down weeds. In the latitude of 
Norfolk, the roots are much improved in flavor if left in the ground during the 
winter. 
ALL AMERICAN. (90 days.) A splendid Parsnip with deep crown, small 
core, and clean, clear white roots. The flesh is of fine 
texture, sweet, and free from stringiness. The roots are 2 inches at the shoulder, 
and grow about 12 inches long. Recommended for either the market or home 
garden. Pkt., 10c; oz., 30c; 14 Ib., 70c, postpaid. 
D , (95 days.) A popular variety with smooth white skin, deep crown and sweet, tender flesh.

PEAS 
Two pounds (one quart) will sow a row 100 feet long; 75 to 100 Ibs. for an acre. A pint 
weighs about one pound. Smooth seeded varieties weigh 60 pounds to the bushel, ana 
wrinkled-seeded varieties weigh 56 pounds to the bushel. 
Culture: Dry and moderately rich loam is best adapted to early Peas, while heavy soil is preferable 
for the late sorts. The early varieties are usually planted about 2 inches deep, from the middle of 
January to the middle of March; wrinkled Peas, being so liable to rot in cold, wet ground, they 
should not be sown before the latter part of February. Dwarf varieties may be drilled in rows 18 
inches apart, but more space must be given to the kinds which make more vine, truckers usually 
allowing 21 feet for the ordinary extra earlies. Commence cultivating when the Peas are 2 inches 
high, and draw the earth up on each side to help in supporting the vine. In the latitude of Norfolk 
a fall crop of Peas may be planted between the middle of August and the tenth of September. 
Early Varieties 
WILT-RESISTANT ALASKA. (55 days.) The earliest and best smooth green-seeded Pea, but 
recommended only for those who want an extra early crop.
