Parsley makes such cheap and ex-
cellent garnlsh for all kinds of meat
and fowls, and is such decided addl-
ton to the dressing for roast lamb and

is always cool and moist In the carless
manner in whice peas are frequently
cultivated they have very little flavor
and delicacy. 1t is so with raising..what
is called the snap short beans. they are
seldom planted deep enough, and as

a piece of India-rubber and are about
as tough, but the beans planted in
September, and i'll due time are for
sale in our markets, are really delicious
in flavor and fairly melt the mouth.
This is the result of cold soil. But were
these beans planted theree and four
