Parsley may be grown in the garden for summer use, 

 or in window boxes for use during the winter. By mulch- 

 ing with a coating of coarse manure, the roots may be kept 

 in the ground and yield an early supply in the spring. 



FIG. 150. Parsley growing in a Window Box 



Soil. Any kind of rich garden soil that has been 

 thoroughly pulverized will produce parsley. 



Sowing. Soak the seeds in lukewarm water for a few 

 hours and sow out of doors from April to July. Make 

 drills one foot apart and thin out the plants to four 

 inches apart in the row. The thinnings may be either 

 transplanted or eaten.
