Parsley 
CULTURE—1 oz. to 100 feet of row, 4 lbs. to one acre. 
Parsley does best in deeply worked good soil. Sow early 
in the spring in rows a foot apart, thin out the rooted vari¬ 
eties to 3 inches apart in the row but do not thin the curled 
varieties. Parsley is slow to germinate and it is a good 
plant to sow a small quantity of radishes with the parsley. 
Radishes come up quickly and mark the rows and you can 
cultivate long before the parsley comes up. It takes a month 
or longer for parsley to come up. 
IMPROVED PERFECTION PARSLEY 
Dark green, densely curled, almost entirely free from 
plain leaves and of very robust and quick growth. For the 
largest amount of leaves also for growing under glass this 
is the best parsley you can get. Pkt. 10c; oz. 15c; lb. $1.00. 
PARSLEY GREEN GEM —Darkest green and most densely 
curled. Of dwarf compact growth. Not a single leaf in this 
parsley but that is most exquisitely and closely curled. For 
open field culture this is the finest parsley to be had. Some¬ 
what a slow grower in the first stages of its growth. An 
exhibition variety. Pkt. 10c; oz. 15c; lb. $1.60. 
Which is the Best Parsley 
PERFECTION is as the name says perfection and in 
curled varieties there is absolutely nothing else as good. We 
know because we tried hundreds of strains of curled parslies. 
It is the most highly bred curled parsley of vigorous growth 
with not a trace of “wild” parsley in it. Perfection is the 
only variety to grow in greenhouses where space is costly 
and where it does not pay to bother with poor stuff. 
The best rooted parsley is our RECORD. It is little later 
than Hamburg Rooted but the roots are much larger, resem¬ 
bling well grown roots of parsnip, white smooth and of high 
quality.
