Parsley 
Parsley is valuable for flavoring and garnishing purposes. Sow 
in drills as early in Spring as the soil can be pulverized. Seed 
two years old will vegetate more freely than nevv seed, which 
will frequently require five or six weeks to germinate; so the cul- 
vator must not be disheartened if the plants do not appear within 
a month. The seed will also germinate more freely by soaking 
it 24 hours in water, and mixed with sand before sowing.
