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.
