Tait's Curled Scotch Porsley 
PARSLEY 
One ounce will plant a row 100 feet long; 3 lbs. will plant an acre in IS-inch 
rows; or 5 lbs. for an acre 10 inches apart on 4-foot beds. 
Culture: Parsley seed is very slow in germinating, often requiring a month 
and should be sown from February to August, in rich, mellow soil, one-eighth 
of an inch deep, the surface being then made very firm. If the ground be covered 
with old bags after sowing, moisture is thus retained until the seeds have 
sprouted, while the effect of heavy rains is also prevented. With this precau¬ 
tion there is never any difficulty in securing a stand of Parsley even during the 
heat of summer. Keep the weeds down by frequent hoeing, and when the plants 
get strong thin from 6 to 9 inches apart. During intensely cold weather, it is 
well to give the bed some slight protection of hay, grass or burlap, to avoid 
damage by freezing. Market gardeners will find it profitable to sow Parsley in 
cold frames in August to winter over for early spring gathering.
