THE VEGETABLE GARDEN 277 
PARSLEY 
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. 
Fic. 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.
