the rows. The seed is slow of germination, taking from three to four weeks to make its appearance and often

sprout in damp earth, and sow when it swells or bursts. For winter use protect in a frame or light cellar.
^ MARKET GARDENER'S BEST
^TRIPLE CURLED PARSLEY
^PETERSILIE.
The best points yet obtained in parsley have certainly been reached
in this sort. The plant is of a very robust and free growth, and is
greatly improved by severe cutting. The leaves are large and beauti-
fully curled, and of a very dark green. It stands the heat, drought,
and cold better and will yield double that of any other sort. The
whole appearrnce of the plant is very handsome, and it certainly is
" the Parsley for either the market or family garden." Packets /5c.
