PARSLEY For market, the leaves may be tied in small attractive 
bunches. Very desirable for garnishing, or if to be used 
for flavoring, the leaves may be dried crisp, rubbed to a 
powder and kept in bottles. The seed is very slow to germinate and 
the same method as used for starting parsnip seed given on page 62 
should be followed. Plant % oz. to 100 feet of row or 3 lbs. per acre 
to a depth of not more than inch. Rows may be one to two feet 
apart and the plants should be thinned 8 to 12 inches apart in the row. 
Cutting the leaves often will improve their quality. 
Paramount 
Paramount to 
other varie¬ 
ties in ap¬ 
pearance and color. It Is 
unusually dark green and more 
uniform in plant type and curl 
with a dense broad frond (or 
spray). Stems are long and 
stout, which enhances its 
bunching quality. Not inclined 
to tip burn and turn brown 
on the edges with age or dur¬ 
ing the cooler days of fall. 
When thinned, the plants grow 
about 12 inches high with the 
spread of about 20 inches. The 
total length of stem and frond 
is about 12 inches, with the 
length to the first joint 5 
inches. The frond is triangular 
in shape, the base being 4 and 
5 inches. 1935 Winner “All

A SEEDMAN'S DUTY 
(Continued from page 45) 
If you are a trucker or market grower, the seed you plant assumes 
more vital significance. You must have hardiness: plants that come 
up strongly and grow with vim, vigor and vitality. You must also 
have the variety suited to your needs; true to type and uniform as 
to shape, size, color and quality. First class, uniform produce brings 
top market prices and is much more easily sold. 
It is a pretty well established fact that high altitude grown seeds 
are the hardiest obtainable. We are situated at an altitude of 4,200 
feet, and some of our farms are as much as 6,800 feet. The nights 
are cool and, due to the thin atmosphere, days often become very 
warm. The extremes of temperature have a great deal of effect upon 
inherent hardiness of the seed. 
New and improved sorts are constantly being introduced and we 
do not hesitate to drop the older and obsolete strains from our list. 
There has been an improvement in seed growing as well as in building 
automobiles, and we see no reason why the older models should not 
be dropped. Careful selection and scientific breeding have accomplished 
wonders the past few years. Flavor, color and uniformity have been 
so improved in the new varieties we offer that we believe they will 
meet with your hearty approval.
