 I about three weeks in earliness of crop,

PARSLEY. 



CULTURE. — Sow in rows, in good rich soil; it makes a very good edging for beds 

 er walks. Should the weather be dry, watering will hasten their germination. The 

 garnishing varieties are decidedly the prettiest for ornamenting a dish, but for seasoning 

 they are all equally as good. The seed will also germinate more freely by soaking it 

 twenty-four hours in water, and mixed with sand before sowing. Matures in 85 to 110 

 days. One ounce to 250 feet of drill; 8 pounds to the acre. 



CREOLE PLAIN. — This Parsley origin- 

 ally comes from the imported French 

 strain, but after being grown in Louisiana 

 for a number of years it has a tendency to 

 grow taller; it is claimed by some garden- 

 ers that this parsley does not go to seed 

 as quickly as the Northern and imported 

 varieties. Packet 5c. and 10c; Ya lb., 30c; 

 lb., $1.00 postpaid. 



PLAIN LEAVED. — This is the hardiest
