For market, the leaves may be 
tied in small attractive bunches. 
Very desirable for garnishing, or 
if to be used for flavoring, the 
leaves may be dried crisp, rubbed 
to a powder and kept in bottles. 
The seed is very slow to germinate 
and the same method as used for 
starting parsnip seed should be 
followed. Plant 1% oz. to 100 feet 
of row, or 3 Ibs. per acre to a 
depth of not more than 1/2 inch. 
Rows may be one to two feet 
apart and the plants should be 
thinned 4 to 8 inches apart in the 
row. Cutting the leaves often will 
improve their quality. 
Parsley 
70 days. Strong growing with large, 
Evergreen dense, dark green foliage. Compound leaves or fronds; 
leaves rather coarsely cut but closely curled. Definitely more frost re- 
sistant than other varieties. Very uniform. Well adapted to both mar- 
ket and home garden.

Not postpaid (lb. $1.40) (10 Ibs. @ $1.10) (100 Ibs. @ 95c) 
e 75 days. Plants compact with very dark green 
Triple Curled leaves, exceedingly fine cut and curled, resem- 
bling tufts of moss. Desirable for feyoatet garnishing and for deco-

Plant 1% oz. to 100 feet of drill; 3 
Ibs. per acre. Culture same as carrot 
except only one very early planting is 
made. Cover the seed 1/2 inch deep. 
The seeds germinate slowly. Do _ not 
allow the soil to become dry as germi- 
nation will be ruined. A few lettuce 
seed mixed with the parsnip will come 
up quickly and mark the row so that you 
can cultivate. For the best quality, the 
ground should be kept moist throughout 
the growing season. Parsnips are im- 
proved by freezing. The tops may be 
removed after killing frost and the roots 
stored as instructed on page 8. 
Ideal Hollow Crown 
130 days. An improved and de- 
sirable sort, very productive. 
Grow enough to serve on your 
table from after the first freeze 
in the fall until late spring. Roots 
large, smooth, white skin, uni- 
form in shape, tender and of the 
best quality. Length 12 to 14 
inches, 2% inches thick at the 
shoulder, hollow crowned; uni- 
formly tapered.
