Frenc ii — P ersi 1 .

to water the beds, as the seeds will sometimes lie a long while dormant.

811 Crested Boucyuet, Carters Re-selected.— This superb variety 
has again been re-selected and improved by us, and our stock is now 
without question the most perfect type of Parsley ever offered. 
Numerous visitors to our Trial Grounds at Raynes Park have freely 
endorsed our opinion. It is of dwarf, compact habit, the exquisite curl 
of the leaves giving it a very attractive crested appearance. The Royal 
Horticultural Society’s report at Wisley reads Carters Crested 
Bouquet Parsley. — A beautifully deep curled variety of sturdy, 
compact habit.” [See Photograph.) Per pkt., -/6, l/-and 1/6

barge and handsome curled leaves It is rather taller aud more branch- 
ing in growth than our Crested Bouquet.

PARSNIP. 
French — Panais. 
The Cultivation of Parsnip .—Sow the seed early in March as soon as 
the season will permit. The ground should be well manured and deeply 
trenched; the drills about 15 in. apart, and the plants thinned out the same 
distance. 
S32 Holborn Marrow, Carters.— A sweet dclicate-fleshed variety. 
A truly refined Parsnip. When lifted it leaves the ground clean, 
smooth, and well shaped. It is not so large in growth as our Maltese. 
but its flavour is unusually marrow-like and delicate. Our picture 
very inadequately depicts its merits. The Royal Horticultural Society, 
reporting its trials at the Experimental Grounds, says :— Roots thick, 
handsome, and not too large, but just the size and shape a Parsnip 
should be." [See Photograph.) 
"Parsnip Holborn Marrow.— This is first class for exhibition and 
table."— Mr. J. I.ock, Head Gardener to S. P. Emanuel. Esq.

830 Maltese, Carters. — A superb giant Parsnip for exhibition or table 
use. We hold records of 708 First Prizes having been taken during the 
past few seasons for this fine Parsnip, which was also included in the 
First and Champion Prize Exhibit of Vegetables. Shrewsbury. 1912. and 
also the barge Gold Medal Exhibit at the same show. We are confident 
in stating that this highly-selected strain cannot be surpassed, either 
for size or flavour ; the roots, which attain to a very large size, being 
quite as tender and sweet flavoured as most varieties which do not reach 
one-half the size. 
"The Maltese Parsnips weighed 4 ll>. 2 oz. each and were quite sweet 
and succulent, not a bit strong in consequence of the size. "—Mr. Phillips.
