flavoring than for garnishing. Sometimes called 
Italian parsley.

four inches in the row. The roots may be left In 
the ground all winter. An ounce will sow 200 
feet; 3 pounds per acre. 
Hollow Crown 
HOLLOW CROWN. The oldest and best known va¬ 
riety, the roots reaching a length of 8 to 10 
inches. They are pure white, smooth and of 
excellent flavor, used both for the table and 
for feeding. 
WHITE MODEL. Generaly considered an improve¬ 
ment over Hollow Crown, being of medium 
length, smooth, and pure white. The absence 
of side roots is a point in its favor.
