Parsley 

 Seed Germination 



Twenty or more parsley seeds and five radish seeds 

 for each pupil. 



Place both kinds of seeds in the germinating dish. 



Record germination. Determine which kind germi- 

 nates first and the difference in time between the germi- 

 nation of the radish and the parsley. 



What advantage would there be in planting the two 

 kinds of seeds in the same row in the garden? 



Growing Seedlings 



Sow parsley seeds broadcast in a window box in north 

 or west window. Seedlings grow slowly and do better 

 out of direct sunshine. 



Transplant occasionally to get a good root system. 



In spring plant in outdoor garden. 



Endive and Chicory 



Sow seeds of endive and chicory in the school garden 

 or in the home gardens. 



Plant in early spring, as soon as ground is in good 

 condition, in rich soil and thin to eight or ten inches 

 apart.
