PARSLEY 
One ounce will plant a row 100 feei long’; 3 lbs. will plant an acre 
in 18-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 then being 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 precaution 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. :
