BUIST’S SEEDS—“BEST BY EVERY TEST” 
PARSLEY 
P ARSLEY is valuable for flavoring and garnishing purposes. Sow in drills as early in Spring 
as the soil can be pulverized. Seed two years old will vegetate more freely than new 
seed, which will frequently require five or six weeks to germinate; so the cultivator must 
not be disheartened if the plants do not appear within a month. The seed will also germinate 
more freely by soaking it twenty-four hours in water, and mixing with sand before sowing.
