TRY THE FOUR NEW PEAS. 3r PARSNIPS. Parsnips should be sown in the early spring, as the seed will seldom germinate in drj^, hot weather. Sow in drills 18 inches apart, and thin to 3 inches in the drill. Cultivate the same as carrots. Parsnips are improved by remaining in the groun I until spring; those wanted for winter use can be dug and stored in pits. They are excellent for fattening cattle and hogs.

When not ordered sent prepaid, 15 cents per quart may be deducted from the prices quoted below. Pints at quart rates and four quarts at peck rates. No half pints put up. The packets are in two sizes. Pkt. B contains nearly half a pint. Peas mature the earliest on a light, rich soil. Sow in the spring as soon as the frost is out of the ground, and sow three to four inches deep. They will stand a good deal of cold and some frost, and you can hardly get them in too early. But if the wrinkled varieties are sown quite early, it must be on a dry soil, as they are more liable to rot than the smooth peas. They are, however, much the sweetest and best-flavored peas. To have a succession make two or more sowings. Sow the early, smooth hardy peas, like the Maud S and Alaska, as soon in the spring as the frost is fairly out of the ground, and two or three weeks later make a second sowing of the early kinds, and sow, also, some of the wrinkled peas. This will give a succession from the last of June til
