As early in. March as the soil is in working order, commence operations by levelling the ground with a 
rake, and tread it firmly ; draw shallow drills 9 inches apart, along which sow the seed thinly and 
regularly. Cover the seeds with fine soil, pressing it down on the drills or beds by the use of a light 
roller, or the back of a spade. When the young plants arc strong enough, thin them gradually so that 
they stand, after the final thinning, 5 or 6 inches apart.

To grow Parsley well, the ground should be trenched 18 inches deep, and plenty of manure worked in; 
sow the seed — in March for summer use, and in June for winter — in rows 1 foot apart, and thin out 
or transplant from 6 to 9 inches apart. A dressing of soot occasionally in showery weather will greatly 
increase the growth of the plants.
