VEGETABLE SEEDS 
PARSLEY 
34 oz. to 100 ft., 3 lbs. per acre.

It grows best in rich mellow soil and should be sown as early 
as possible in spring in rows 1 to 2 feet apart with a covering 
of not more than 34 inch of soil firmly pressed down. When 
the plants are well up, thin them 8 to 12 inches apart in the 
row. Pkt. 5e; oz. 15c; 34 lb. 30c. 
Extra Triple Curled (Moss Curled). This vigorous compact 
grower is one of the most popular varieties because of its 
deep green color and tightly curled leaves that look like moss. 
It is unusually decorative for table use. 
Hamburg, Thick Rooted. The root of this variety is edible 
and resembles a slender Parsnip in color and shape. The 
flesh is white, dry, and similar to Celeriac in flavor. It is used 
for flavoring soups and stews. The roots may be stored in sand 
for Winter use.

that it goes on providing a continuous supply of greens 
throughout the Summer.
