Abbott’s Improved Parsnip 
Parsley 
One ounce to 150 teet of drill. 
Parsley seed germinates very slowly, taking two to 
four weeks to come up; hence, if wanted early, no time 
should be lost by delaying the sowing; make the rows 
12 to 14 inches apart. Thin to 3 or 4 inches apart, or 
transplant at this distance. Can be sown in hotbeds in 
February or later in open ground. Late in autumn place 
glass frames over some of the plants to lengthen out 
the season of cutting. For garnishing purposes nothing 
equals parsley; it is also used in salads, soups, etc. Any 
good soil is suitable for growing this plant. 
EXTRA DOUBLE CURLED. Pkt., 10c; oz., 15c; V* lb., 
45c. 
Parsnips 
One ounce to 150 feet of drill; 5 pounds to the acre. 
Sow as early in the spring as the weather will permit 
in drills fifteen inches apart, covering half an inch deep. 
When well up thin out to five to six inches apart in 
rows. Unlike carrots they are improved by frosts, and 
it is usual to take up in the Fall a certain quan¬ 
tity for winter use, leaving the rest in the ground 
until spring to be dug up as required.

tember, at intervals of two or three 
weeks. For an early supply they may be sown in a 
hotbed in February.
