ONION—(Continued) 

UTAH SWEET SPANISH 
This finely bred strain is steadily increasing in popularity on account of its 
large size, attractive yellowish brown covering and excellent flavor. Bulbs 
are globe shaped and when grown under favorable conditions often weigh two 
pounds. They possess a delicious mild flavor and keep very well. 
White Portugal or American Silverskin 
An early white flat onion of good size and mild flavor. Excellent for family use 
or market and a good keeper. Matures about 10 days earlier than Southport 
White Globe. Because of its fine flavor, is a favorite for use when young as a 
salad or bunching onion and for pickles. 
PARSLEY — 
A packet will sow 50 feet of row, an ounce 150 feet. 
In addition to its value for flavoring and garnishing, parsley is now considered a real food. The 
leaves may be used green, or they may be dried crisp, rubbed to a powder and kept in bottles. 
CULTURE. It requires rich, mellow soil. The seed is even slower than parsnip in germinating 
and should be sown as early as possible in the spring, in drills one foot apart, and when the plants 
are well up thin to 2 inches in the row. When the plants are about three inches high cut off all the 
leaves; the plant will start a new growth of leaves which will be brighter and better curled, and if 
these turn dull or brown they can be cut in the same way; every cutting will result in improvement. 
The moss curled variety makes beautiful border plants. 
EVERGREEN 
This is vigorous growing parsley with dense dark green foliage. The leaves 
are large with leaflets somewhat coarsely cut, but closely curled. 
Evergreen is decidedly frost resistant but makes just as fast a growth as 
Double Curled or other sorts. Is very uniform in type and well adapted for 
market gardeners as well as home garden.
