PARSLEY 
(Apium Petroselinum.) 
Persie. Petersilie. Prezzemolo. Perejil. 
CULTURE.—-1 ounce is sufficient for 100 feet of drill; 3 pounds will sow an 
acre in drills 18 inches apart, or 5 pounds in drills 10 inches apart on beds that 
usually have 4 or 7 rows. Parsley seed is very slow in germinating, often requiring 
a month, and should be sown from February to August, in rich, mellow soil, Vs of an 
inch deep, the surface being then made very firm. If the ground be covered with 
old bags after sowing, moisture is thus retained until the seeds have sprouted, while 
the effect of heavy rains is also prevented. With this precaution there is never any 
difficulty in securing a stand of parsley even during the heat of summer. Keep the 
weeds down by frequent hoeing, and when the plants get strong thin from 6 to 9 
inches apart. During intensely cold weather, it is well to give the bed some slight 
protection of hay, grass or burlaps, to avoid damage by freezing. Market gardeners 
will find it profitable to sow Parsley in cold frames in August to winter over for 
early spring gathering.

PARSNIPS 
(Pastinaca Sativa.) 
Panais. Pastinahe. Pastinaca. Chirivia. 
CULTURE.—1 ounce is enough for 100 feet of drill; 4 to 6 pounds will sow an acre. Sow very thickly from March to 
August 14 of an inch deep in drills 18 inches apart in deep, rich, sandy loam, which has been well manured for a previous 
crop. When the plants are 2 to 3 inches high, thin out from 4 to 6 inches apart and cultivate frequently to keep down weeds. 
The roots, which are excellent for stock as well as for the table, are much improved in flavor by being left in the ground 
during the winter. As the seed does not germinate well in hot weather, sowing should be done as early as possible.
