 fact the most desirable. The 

 Moss Curled, though similar, 

 is a little more crimped, Fern- 

 Leaved is an ornamental va-

 smooth - leaved sort, used 

 mainly for flavoring. It is 

 hardier, and its leaves are 

 larger and of a deeper green 

 than those of the other sorts 

 named. The average returns, 

 per sash 3x6, from forced 

 parsley would be from $3.00 

 to $4.00. 



Parsnip ( Pastinaca sa tiva ) 

 requires careful attention to 

 secure proper germination. 

 Thorough preparation of soil 

 and early sowing will promote 

 that result. Sow in rows fif- 

 teen inches apart. At this 

 width, an early crop of spinach 

 or radishes mav be sown in 



jlass, 



Parsnip.
