planting to the open ground. Pkt., 10c; 14 02Z., 35c.

Used exclusively for green bunching, 
as it forms no bulbs. A hardy perennial 
that produces for many years. Seeds 
sown in the spring or summer will pro- 
duce late in the fall or, if wintered 
over, very early the following spring.

and Color to the Menu

soil is best, but parsley will thrive in any soil.
