GARDEN PEAS 
Peas can be sown very early in the spring, 
the early smooth-seeded varieties even as early 
as March 1. For the first sowings use the 
smooth or round-seeded sorts, but after the 
first of April change to the wrinkled kinds 
which, although not so hardy, are much supe- 
rior in quality. Make additional sowings every 
two weeks up to June 1 for a continuous sup- 
ply, but arrange to put the later plantings on 
deep, rich soil where you can conveniently 
water them during dry weather. Plant dwarf 
varieties in rows 2 to 2!/4 feet apart, tall vari- 
eties about 3 feet apart. Cover both kinds 
about 2 inches and thin to stand 3 inches apart 
in the row. The tall varieties do best for late 
planting, and while some people prefer to pro- 
vide supports for them they are really not 
necessary.

PARSNIP 
Parsnips must be sown in the early spring 
as soon as the ground can be prepared. Sow 
the seed 4 inch deep in rows about 15 inches 
apart, and when the plants are well up thin to 
3 to 4 inches apart. The roots mature in the 
fall and, being perfectly hardy, may be left in 
the ground all winter, to be dug as needed. 
Their flavor is improved by freezing. 
An ounce of seed will sow 200 feet of 
drill; 5 pounds will sow an acre. 
Hollow Crown. * Long, smooth roots with 
white skin and fine-grained flesh. Most com-
