The Busy Woman s Garden Book 



Very little cultivation is needed between the 

 plants when once they attain full size; the plants 

 are so dense and spreading that they effectually 

 choke out the younger weed growth, but the space 

 between rows should be kept clean. 



Of the varieties to plant, only the fine moss 

 curled should be selected. The Champion Moss 

 Cm'led is a standard sort and one of the best, rich 

 green in color and so crumpled and curled as to 

 have the appearance of moss. Nearly all florists 

 or seedsmen have their own especial brand of 

 seed and one can select those which promise the 

 best product. If desired bunches of the parsley 

 may be lifted in the fall and potted or planted 

 in window-boxes for winter use. They make 

 a most attractive plant for the window and a 

 pot of parsley, one of well-blanched endive and 

 one of red celestial peppers make a most cheerful 

 window decoration for the kitchen or dining-room, 

 as well as furnishing crisp decorative material 

 for the table.
