 the other varieties and will appeal to many people

PARSLEY 



After soaking the seed for a few hours in warm 

 water, it should be sown in rows 18 inches apart and 

 when 2 inches high thinned out so the plants will 

 stand 4 inches apai't in the row. It takes parsley seed 

 from 3-6 weeks ordinarily to germinate, so that a 

 little patience in growing this is necessary.

Your seeds and plants are such fine quality 

 that I hate to risk purchasing elsewhere.
