Camiell & Sons’ Complete Seed Gxiide 
PARSLEY. 
{Apium petroselinum.) Umisellifer^. 
CULTURE. — Should the weather be dry, sow early in February; if not, defer till middle of March. Soav again in May, and also July, for 
furnishing plants to stand over Winter. Parsley seed is rather longer than most seeds in germinating, and should be watered in dry weather if necessary. 
The secret of having it good all the year is to sow in good soil, 16 inches from plant, to plant. 
Cannells’ Beauty of the Parterre— Perfectly distinct from 
all others. The handsomest sort extant, highly decorative in the

no other variety will be grown. The plants should be thinned out to at 
least 12 inches apart. Per packet, 3d. and 6d. ; per oz., 10</.

PARSNIP 
(Pastinaca sativa.) Umbellifer.®. 
CULTURE . — Sow about the second week in February, or first in March, 
or as early as the ground is in a fit state to receive the seed, choosing a light 
deep-trenched soil if possible ; and if required for exhibition, make a hole 
2 feet deep with a crowbar, push this round so that the hole is largest at 
the top, fill with fine soil, and finish off with dibbing in three seeds. After 
germinating leave the strongest seedling, assist them when in full growth, 
make four holes a foot deep in the soil and about C> inches away from 
the plant, which can be occasionally filled up with licpiid manure, and with 
proiter care and attention afterwards, clean, well-grown specimens will 
be the result, that will astonish all beholders. They should be allowed to 
remain in the ground as long as the weather permits, and when lifted should 
be carefully placed in sand.
