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.

PARSNIP 
A packet will sow about 25 feet of row, an ounce 150 feet, 3 to 4 lbs. for an acre. 
The value of the parsnip as a culinary vegetable is well known, but is not generally appreciated 
at its full value for stock feeding. On favorable soil it yields an immense crop of roots, which are 
more nutritious than carrots or turnips, and particularly valuable for dairy stock. 
CULTURE. They do best in a deep, rich, sandy soil, but will make good roots on any soil which 
is deep, mellow, and moderately rich. Fresh manure is apt to make the roots coarse and ill-shaped. 
As the seed is sometimes slow to germinate, it should be sown as early as possible, in drills 2 feet 
to 24% feet apart; cover one-half inch deep, and press the soil firmly over the seed. Give frequent 
cultivation and when well up, thin the plants to about 4 inches apart in the rows. 
For best results, obtain fresh seed each season.
