the South. Sow late in May, in drills about an inch deep and 2 yf feet

PARSLEY 
An ounce of seed will sow 150 feet

Everyone wants a little bed of Parsley for flavoring and garnishing. Choose a rich, mellow spot 
and sow the seed as early in the spring as possible, in drills about a foot apart and half an inch deep. 
The seed is very slow to germinate, sometimes requiring six to eight weeks. Soaking it in luke-warm 
water for a few hours before sowing will help to hasten it. When the plants are strong enough, thin 
them to stand about 4 inches apart. Parsley beds may be carried over winter in a frame or by mulch¬ 
ing with leaves or straw. 
DOUBLE-CURLED. A compact-growing variety with bright deep green leaves that are beauti¬ 
fully curled and fringed. The most attractive Parsley for garnishing. Pkt. 10 cts., oz. 15 cts.,

curled. Much stronger in flavor than the curled sorts

sweet flavor, and excellent keeping quality. They are cheaper than 
sets, quality and yield considered. Perfectly hardy and may be planted 
as early as the ground can be prepared. Place your order early, 
specifying which variety you want. Postpaid: 50 cts. per 100; $1.60 
for 500; $3 per 1000. Special prices on larger quantities. 
PARSNIP 
An ounce of seed will sow 150 feet 
of row; 8 pounds will sow an acre 
A deep, fine but not necessarily rich soil is best for Parsnips. Spade it deep and pulverize 
it well, as early as the ground can be worked. Sow the seed in drills lf/2 feet apart and half 
an inch deep, and when the plants are well up thin them out to stand about 6 inches apart. 
Cultivate frequently. The roots mature in the fall and, being perfectly hardy, may be 
left in the ground all winter, to be dug as needed Their flavor is improved by freezing.

skin and fine-grained flesh. Productive and reliable. Pkt. 10c., oz. 15c., %\b. 35c., lb. 85c.
