PARSLEY 



One ounce will sow 150 feet of drill. 



CULTURE.— It requires rich, mellow soil. The seed is even slower than parsnips in germinating, 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 up thin to one foot in the row. When the plants are about three inches high cut off all the 

 leaves; the plant will start a new growth of leaves which will he 

 brighter and better curled, and if these turn dull or brown they 

 can be cut in the same way; every cutting will result in improve- 

 ment. For outdoor sowing it is well to prepare the seed by plac- 

 ing it in warm water to soak for at least four hours.

Pastixake, 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. Cultivate 

 the same as for carrots, and thin 

 out to 4 inches apart in the rows. 

 The roots improve by being left 

 in the ground until spring, se- 

 curing enough in pits or the cel- 

 lar for winter use. One ounce 

 of seed to 100 feet of drill; 5 or 

 6 pounds will plant an acre.

OcHER, Ger. 

 CULTURE. — Plant in hills 

 about four feet apart, putting 

 six to eight seeds in a hill and 

 after the plants are well started 

 ' cut out all but two. The dwarf 

 sorts can be planted much closer in hills two to three feet apart, or 

 in drills two feet apart, thinning the plants to about one foot apart in 

 the row. Gather the pcds when quite green and about an inch and a 

 half long. Grown for its young pods, which are used in soup, or stewed 

 and served like asparagus. 



This is the preferred kind with the growers; 

 is of dwarf habit and very productive. Packet,.
