PARSLEY 



One ounce will sow 150 feet of drill. 



Petersilie, Ge)\ 



CULTURE. — It requires rich, mellow soil. The i^eed is even slower than parsnip in germinating, 

 and should be sown as early as possible in the spring, in drills one to two feet ai)art, 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 be 

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

 ihey 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.

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, dugvery 

 deeply, so the roots will grow

 vate the same as for carrots, and

 rows. The roots improve by 

 being left in the ground until 

 spring, securing enough in pits
