PARSLEY. . 3 
(Carum Petroselinum.) French, Persil. 
Cultural Notes. —Parsley should have deeply tilled rich soil and be given ample space in which to develop. To furnish large supplies, sowings 
should be made in February, May, and July. The first of these will be in gentle heat. When large enough prick out the plants into boxes, or on to a 
maild hotbed, and transfer to the open ground at the end of April} allowing each plant a space of one foot each way. In the open, it is best to sow in 
lines one foot apart, and thin out first to three inches, and finally to six inches, the strongest of the seedlings being put out one foot apart. By following 
this plan sufficient supplies for a small household may be obtained from one annual sowing made in April. For the winter crop a late plantation made in 
a sheltered spot will usually suffice, although it is sometimes expedient to cover the plants with an old frame in inclement weather. A few plants lifted 
into five-inch pots and placed in a cool house will often tide over a difficult period.

PARSNIP. 
(Pastinaca sativa.) French, Panais. 
Cultural Notes.—The Parsnip succeeds best in a deep sandy soil or light loam in fertile condition, but on no account should the ground be 
dressed with manure immediately in advance of sowing the seed, or fanged and worthless roots will result. The essential point, however, is to prepare 
the ground by deep digging. The seed should be got in at the first favourable opportunity—during February if possible. Sow in shallow drills 
eighteen inches apart, dropping the seeds in twos and threes at a distance of six inches apart; cover lightly and touch over with the hoe or rake. As 
soon as the plants are visible, thin to prevent crowding. The final thinning should leave them a foot apart; or if the ground is strong and large roots 
are required, they may be allowed fifteen inches. Good-quality roots may be grown on the worst types of clay and on stony soils by. boring holes and 
filling them in with fine earth, in the manner described for Beet and Carrot. The holes for Parsnip, however, should be rather larger and deeper, with 
more space allowed between. 
Sutton’s Tender and True. An admirable Parsnip which increases in popularity 
every year. Not quite so large as our Student, but more perfect in form, of the finest 
quality, with a clear and smooth skin. We consider this to be the best Parsnip in 
existence. (llustrated) Bs See or Ase ante ie ae per ounce, 1s.
