 seed the first season, these are indispensable. They should be planted about4inches 

 apart, in drills 12 inches apart, lightly covered, and well cultivated. They will give 

 bulbs large enough for use much earlier than the seeds. Prices variable.

OKR A. 



(Safran.) 



The tender young pods of this plant are used for seasoning soups and stews, and 

 may also be prepared like asparagus ; they are sometimes dried for winter use. 

 Sow the seeds thickly, in rich soil, about the middle of May, in drills 3 feet apart, 

 and cover the seeds an inch deep. Thin the young plants to stand 10 inches apart, 

 hoe them often, and earth up the stems a little in cultivation for support. An ounce 



f seed will plant 100 hills.

Ej ira Double Curled Parsley. 



(^eterjitic.) 



The leaves of most sorts of Parsley are beautifully curled and quite useful for garnish- 

 ing dishes ; all sorts are valuable for flavoring soups and similar dishes. The seeds ger- 

 minate slowly, and should be sown as early in spring as the ground can be prepared, in 

 drills about 14 inches apart, and covered about half an inch deep ; the plants should be 

 thinned to stand 6 or 8 inches apart. If desired for winter use, some plants should be 

 removed to a light cellar, and treated as for open-air culture in fall. In the middle and 

 southern states the plants may be covered lightly with straw, and will give tender, fresh 

 oung leaves all winter. An ounce of seed will sow about 150 feet of drill.
