PARSLEY 



(Peterselie) 



Sow in early Spring in rows 1 foot apart 

 and cover firmly 14 inch deep; thin out to 

 6 inches. The seed is slow and irregular in 

 sprouting and may be hastened by soaking 

 it in warm water several hours before sow- 

 ing. We suggest planting a few ciuick- 

 growing seeds (such as radishes) with 

 Parsley to mark the row. Plants may be 

 potted and taken indoors for Winter use. 



One ounce of seed will sow 200 feet of drill.

PARSNIPS (Fastinake) 



Parsnips require a deeply dug but not 

 necessarily rich soil. The largest and 

 smoothest roots are grown in light, mellow 

 soil, free from stones. Fresh manure causes 

 rough and misshapen roots. 



The seed should be sown as early as the 

 grormd is flt — never later than mid-May. 

 Make the rows 1% feet apart and cover 

 the seed about V2 inch deep. Thin out the 

 plants to stand 4 to 5 inches apart. Givp 

 frequent d-^ep cultivation. The flavor of 

 Parsnips is improved by frost. Dig them 

 in late Fall or leave them in the ground to 

 be dug as needed during Winter.

 manured ground, cultivate frequently and 

 cut off seed stalks as soon as they appear.

 strawy manure.
