PARSLEY.— Impor- 
tant! It requires 3 to 
4 weeks for Parsley 
seed to germinate. 
Cover the seed V2inch 
The soil must bemoist. 
In dry weather it is 
next to impossible to 
get Parsley seed to 
germinate unless watered properly. 
Sometimes, soaking the seed several 
hours in warm water (not hot) then 
sowing it out immediately, will help.

PARSNIP 
One ounce will sow a row 150 feet long; 5 to 6 lbs. fo the acre 
HOW TO GROW THEM.— Parsnips need a deep, loose, rich soil 
to produce straight, smooth clean roots. Sow seed as early in spring 
as weather permits, when soil is warm. Make rows 1 Vz feet apart 
and sow seed in rows; cover seed Viinch when soil is moist; tlien, 
when plants are 3 to 4 inches high, thin them out to 4 inches between 
the plants. The oots are improved in quality and flavor if left in the 
ground over winter. Enough for winter use should be stored in pits 
or cellars and covered with earth to preserve their good quality.
