CULTUEE—Parsley is indispensable for 
flavoring and for garnishing. The seed germi¬ 
nates slowly, in 2 or 3 weeks and therefore 
should be soaked in warm water for a few hours 
before planting. Sow early in spring, % inch 
deep. When plants are of good size, thin to 
stand 8 inches apart in the rows. In the fall, 
a few plants may be set into pots, and taken 
indoors.

ing. Pods are borne beneath the ground. Pea¬ 
nuts are an interesting crop for children to 
grow.

Rhubarb Roots page ss 
One of our most valuable root vegetables, 
because of its rich sweet flavor and high food 
value. Frost improves the flavor, and parsnips 
can be left in the ground all winter, to be

sown early in drills. Thin the plants to stand 
4 or 5 inches apart.
