PARSLEY. (Petersille.) 

 Culture. — Seed should be sown thinly 

 in drills as early in the spring as the soil 

 can be dug in fine loose condition, as it ger- 

 minates best during cool moist weather. 

 When well started thin out or transplant 

 to stand six inches apart in the row. The 

 dwarf, moss-curled varieties make beauti- 

 ful edgings for the garden beds when 

 planted along the walks, and furnishes or- 

 namental foliage lor garnishing as well as 

 seasoning for table use. Roots may be 

 taken up and planted in boxes or flower 

 pots in the fall for wimer use and placed 

 in a sunny window in the kitchen. As 

 plants run to seed early in the spring the 

 second year, fresh plantings should be 

 made each season. A " packtt " contains
