In addition to Parsley and other valuable flavoring plants

 They are indispensable in the kitchen. See page 34. 



CULTURE — Used for garnishing and seasoning soups, meats, etc. Succeeds best in a mellow, rich soil. Sow thickly early in April 

 in rows 18 to 24 inches apart and 5-inch deep; thin out the plants to stand 6 inches apart in the rows. The seed germinates slowly, 

 plants taking from three to four weeks to make their appearance, and sometimes failing to come up in dry weather. To insure prompt 

 germination, soak the seed a few hours in warm water, or sprout in damp earth, and sow when it swells or bursts. For winter use pro- 

 tect in a frame or light cellar. One ounce of seed for 150 feet of drill. Plants offered on page 212.

CULTURE — Sow as early in the spring as weather and soil conditions permit in drills 2 feet apart and cover J inch deep in light 

 soil, less in heavy clay. Thin to stand 4 to 6 inches apart in the rows. The roots are eaten boiled or baked and are very sweet and 

 tender, also are often used for flavoring soups and stews. The quality is improved by leaving them in ground over winter for spring 

 use. Secure enough in pits or cellars in the fall for immediate needs. One ounce will sow 200 feet of drill. 



608 Large Sugar, or Hollow Crown. This is the best and 

 most productive variety and is largely grown both in the home 

 garden and for market. The roots, which are creamy white, 

 grow 10 to 12 inches long, and are smooth, tender, sweet and 

 are of excellent flavor. This strain is the result of careful 

 selection of roots growing to an ideal shape and having the 

 distinct hollow crown. Highly valued by market gardeners. 

 Pkt., 10 cts.; oz., 15 cts.; J lb., 45 cts.; lb., $1.50. 



610 Student, or Guernsey. Very similar to No. 608, but 

 somewhat shorter. A good half-long variety, with smooth 

 white roots, very clean skinned, and with a fine neck deeply set 

 in the crown. This sort is of unusual sweetness and always 

 tender. Pkt., 10 cts.; oz., 15 cts.; J lb., 45 cts.; lb., $1.50.
