The Home Garden 



sively grown by sowing it thickly, and gather- 

 ing it when about half grown. 



PARSLEY 



This vegetable is much used in seasoning 

 soups, and for garnishing roasts, fish, and 

 other meat dishes. Sow in May, in rows a foot 

 apart. Cover the seed with about half an inch 

 of soil. Being rather slow to germinate, it is a 

 good plan to soak the seed in warm water for a 

 few hours before sowing it. 



Parsley can easily be carried over winter, 

 in pots, in the window-garden. For this pur- 

 pose, make a late sowing, and set half a dozen 

 seedlings in a seven or eight inch pot. The 

 housewife w^ho takes pride in the attractive 

 appearance of the table will highly appreciate 

 it in winter, when it is difficult to find material 

 for the garnishing of roasts and fish courses on 

 sale. A pot of parsley is more attractive than 

 many of the plants used for window decoration, 

 therefore it may be made to do double duty. 



Summer Green is a strong grower, admirably 

 adapted to summer use. Its foliage is large, 

 finely curled, and of a rich green color which 

 makes it very attractive.
