 Succeeds best in a mellow, rich soil. Sow thickly early in April in 

 rows 1 foot apart and J inch deep; thin out the plants to stand 6 in- 

 ches apart in the rows. The seed is slow of germination, taking from 

 three to four weeks to make its appearance, and often failing to come 

 up in dry weather. To assist its coming up quicker, soak the seeds a 

 few hours in warm water, or sprout in damp earth, and sow when it 

 swells or bursts. 



Dreer's Dwarf Perfection. (See cut.) This fine and valu- 

 able Parsley will be found very useful for all purposes for which it 

 may be used. The habit of growth is very regular and compart, 

 and the exquisitely fine and prettily curled leaves are set so 

 closely that the form of the plant is almost semi-globular, and 

 it presents a beautiful- moss-like appearance during its growth. 

 The color is a wonderful bright pea-green, and the flavor sur- 

 passes all other varieties of Parsley. This excellent variety 

 combines the quality of a fine culinary herb with that of a beauti- 

 ful decorative plant, and is equally valuable for garnishing pur- 

 poses and borders. Pkt., 10 cts.; oz., 35 cts.; \ lb., $1.00; 

 lb., $3.50.
