Parsleym 
German, Petersilie. — French, Persii. — Spanish, Perejil. 
Soak the seeds a few hours in tepid water, and sew early in the spring in drills one foot apart; thin out the plants 
three or four inches apart ; a single row forms a very good edging for beds or walks. The seed germinates very 
slowly, and sometimes two or three weeks will elapse before the plants make their appearance. To preserve in winter, 
transplant to a light cellar or cold-frame. The Turnip-Rooted variety should be thinned out while the plants are quite 
young, and aftei^vards treated the same as carrots. One ounce to lyo feet of drill.
