SEED GROWERS 

PARSLEY 
CuLturE. Parsley used for garnishing and for seasoning can be 
planted as soon as the soil can be worked in spring. Cover the slow 
germinating seed one-fourth inch deep in 12- to 18-inch rows. One-fourth 
ounce sows 100 feet and 3 to 5 pounds plant an acre. To improve the 
appearance of the crop, trim the plants with a sickle 2 or 3 times during 
their growing season and at the approach of winter transplant to cold 
frames or a sunny window. Parsley may be mulched with coarse litter 
and wintered for spring use till the new crop begins. 
CHAMPION MOSS CURLED 
Leaves! are a uniform dark green color, very finely cut and so closely 
curled as to resemble bunches of moss. One of the most useful and 
decorative sorts; fine for bunching. 
DOUBLE CURLED 
The standard sort for outdoor culture; also highly prized by market 
gardeners for the greenhouse. 
HAMBURG OR ROOTED 
Mostly grown for the thick, fleshy roots. The roots are nearly white in 
color, growing about 6 inches long and about 2 inches thick around the 
neck and, gradually tapering toward the base. The flesh is white and 
somewhat dry. Used for flavoring soups, stews, etc. 
PLAIN OR SINGLE 
Leaves flat, deeply cut but not curled. Often preferred on account of the 
very dark green color as well as the hardiness of the plant and its su- 
periority for flavoring. - 
PARAMOUNT 
A new and improved triple-curled variety with unusually rich dark green 
foliage tightly curled. Ideally suited for home and market gardens. 
PARSNIP 
CuLtTurRE. Plant Parsnip seed as early as the soil can be worked in 
spring and do not cover this slow germinating seed deeper than one- 
fourth inch. Use 18- to 24-inch rows, thinning the plants to a 4-inch 
stand. One-half ounce of seed sows 100 feet and 8 to 5 pounds plant 
an acre. This crop requires the entire season to mature, and as frost 
improves the roots, they may be left in the ground all winter. Both as to 
quantities and its feeding vaiues, the Parsnip is a valuable stock feed. 
IMPROVED HOLLOW CROWN 
Roots 12 to 16 inches long, white smcoth, tender, sugary and of most 
excellent flavor. Very hardy and will keep through winter without pro- 
tection. 
GUERNSEY IMPROVED 
Roots white, 12 to 14 inches long, very tender with a smooth, clean skin. 
The variety is easily distinguished by the leaves growing from depression 
on top or crown of the root. 
WHITE QUEEN 
Similar to Improved Hollow Crown. Free from side roots and very white; 
an excellent market variety.
