PARSLEY. 
German, s }$eterfilie. French, Persil. 
This vegetable is 
used for garnishing 
more than any other 
plant of our gardens; 
it is extensively used 
in soups, stews, etc. 
As the seed is very 
slow to germinate, 
sometimes two or 
three weeks will 
elapse before the 
plants make their ap¬ 
pearance, and in dry 
weather often fail en¬ 
tirely. Plants should 
be started in a hot¬ 
bed, if possible, but if 
sown out of doors, the extra double curled. 
seeds should be soaked in quite warm water at least twenty-four hours; 
When the plants are two or three inches high, set them in rows five or 
six inches apart. Pkt. Cts.
