Petersilie, Ger. 



PARSLEY. 



Persil, Fr. Peregil, Sp. 



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

 in April in rows 1 foot apart and ^-inch deep; thin out the plants to stand 6 inches 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 seed a few hours in warm water, or sprout in damp earth, and sow when it swells or bursts. For 

 winter use protect in a frame or light cellar.
