PARSLEY AT WISLEY, 1908-09. 



Thirty-seven stocks of Parsley were received for trial, all of which were 

 sown on April 2, on soil that had been deeply dug and well manured, 

 the rows being 18 inches apart, and the plants thinned out later to one 

 foot apart in the rows. All the stocks germinated well, and the growth 

 made was excellent. All the stocks stood the trying winter very well, 

 Nos. 3, 4, 5, 11, and 32 standing particularly well. The Fruit and 

 Vegetable Committee examined the collection on two occasions.
