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 66 should be followed. Plant V 4 oz. to 100 feet of row or 3 lbs. 
per acre to a depth of not more than V 2 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.

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 during 
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

A SEEDSMAN'S DUTY 
You are probably familiar with Edgar A. Guest's poem entitled “A 
Package of Seed.” It begins: “I paid a dime for a package of seeds* 
and the clerk tossed them out with a flip,” and concludes: *Tn this bright 
little package, now isn't it odd? You've a dime's worth of something 
known only to God.” How true this is, because in most cases there is no 
way you can tell the variety, trueness to type, productiveness or hardiness 
by examining the seed. You may readily pass on the sample, and germina¬ 
tion tests can easily be made for viability, but you must depend upon the 
seedsman for all of the other important considerations. 
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.
