PARSLEY. 



Pelersilie, Ger. Persil, Fr. 'Per.eg.il, Sp. 



Used for garnishing and seasoning soups, meats, 

 etc. Succeeds best in a mellow, rich sod. Sow 

 thickly early in April in rows 1 loot apart and A 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 m 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.

Ruby King Pepper. 



Pfeffer, Ger. Piment, Fr. Pimiento, Sp. 



Peppers are indispensable as a seasoning for soups 

 and meats. The large varieties are mainly used for 

 this purpose and pickling. 1 he mild, sweet varieties, 

 like Golden Dawn and Ruby King, are used for Man- 

 goes, while the small-fruited sorts are the best for 

 sauces. Sow in hotbeds in March or April, or on a 

 warm, sheltered border in May, and, when the season 

 is favorable, transplant in rows 2 feet apart and 18 

 inches in row, in good, rich ground.
