LANDRETHS’ SEEDS ARE AN INSTITUTION IN AMERICA 
About Seventy Days from DADCICV Two Ounces of Seed will plant 100 Yards 
Sowing to Cutting I MI\jLL T of Row. Eight Pounds to the Acre 
This vegetable is a Native of Sardinia. 
The seed does not germinate under two or three weeks. The drilling should take place as soon as the 
soil can be worked or when the Cherry tree is in bloom, and may be continued until Autumn. If for horse 
culture, the rows should be feet apart; if for hand culture, the rows should be 18 inches apart. Used 
especially for garnishing and flavoring. 
Champion Moss Curled or Triple Curled—70 
Days 
This is a very vigorous growing compact, very pro¬ 
ductive sort. The leaves are very dark green in 
color, very finely cut and so thickly curled that a 
plant resembles a bunch of moss. The most desirable 
sort for garnishing and decorating. The best 
Parsley for all purposes. 
Fine Curled or Double—70 Days 
The leaves of this sort are finely cut and well curled. 
It is desirable for flavoring soups and stews, garnish¬ 
ing, and drying. 
Hamburg or Turnip Rooted—SO Days 
This variety is raised for its roots. Although the 
leaves are very similar to the Plain Parsley, they are 
not recommended for garnishing, owing to the long 
period of growth before coming to maturity. The 
roots resemble parsnips both as to color and shape, 
and can be used for flavoring soup and stews when 
fresh, or can be stored like other roots and used for 
Winter. 
Plain or Single—60 Days 
Used as a pot herb. Leaves flat and plain. Not 
curled but deeply cut, resembling Hamburg in 
appearance. More aromatic than the Curled 
varieties.
