PARSLEY 
One ounce will plant a row 100 feet long; 3 Ibs. will plant an acre 
in 18-inch rows; or 5 Ibs. for an acre 10 inches apart on 4-foot beds. 
Culture: Parsley seed is very slow in germinating, often requiring a month and may be 
sown either in the early spring or fall, in rich, mellow soil, one-eighth of an inch deep, the 
surface then being made very firm. Keep the weeds down by frequent hoeing, and when 
the plants get strong thin from 6 to 9 inches apart. Market gardeners will find it profitable 
to sow Parsley in cold frames in August to winter over for early spring gathering:

long; 2 to 3 Ibs. an acre in hills. 
PARSNIPS 
One ounce will plant a row 100 
feet long; 4 to 6 Ibs. for an acre. 
Culture: Sow very thickly one-fourth 
inch deep from March to August, in drills 
12 inches apart in deep, rich, sandy loam, 
which has been well manured for a pre- 
vious crop. When the plants are 2 to 3 
inches high, thin out from 4 to 6 inches 
apart and cultivate frequently to keep 
down weeds. In the latitude of Norfolk, 
the roots are much improved in flavor if 
left in the ground during the winter. 
Culture: Plant from May to July 1 inch 
deep in hills 8 feet apart each way. 
Cultivation the same as for squash. (See
