HIGH QUALITY VEGETABLE SEEDS

PARSLEY 



Petersilie, Ger. 



CULTURE— It requires rich, mellow soil. The 

 seed is even slower than Parsnips in f^erminating, 

 and should be sown as early as possible in the 

 spring, in drills one to two feet apart, and when 

 the plants are well grown u]) thin to one foot in 

 the row. When the plants are about three inches 

 high cut oil all the leaves ; the plant will start a 

 new growth of leaves which will be brighter and 

 better curled, and if these turn dull or brown they 

 can be cut in the same way; every cutting will 

 result in improvement. For outdoor sowing it 

 is well to prepare the seed by placing it in warm 

 water to soak for at least four hours.

Fine Triple Curled Parsley. 



PARSNIPS 



Pastinake, Ger. 



CULTURE— Sow as early in the 

 spring as the weather will admit, in 

 drills 15 inches apart and half an 

 inch deep, in rich, well-manured 

 ground, dug very deeply, so the roots 

 will grow straight and uniform. Cul- 

 tivate the same as for carrots, and thin 

 out to four inches apart in the rows. 

 The roots improve by being left _ in 

 the ground until spring, securing 

 enough in pits or the cellar for win- 

 ter use. One ounce of seed to 100 feet 

 of drill ; five or six pounds will plant 

 an acre.

 apart, thinning the plants to about one foot apart in the row. Gather the
