French, Persil; German, Petersilie; Spanish, Perejil. Parsley is very generally used for garnishing, and seasoning soups and stews. It can be used fresh from the garden, or dried and rubbed into a fine powder, when it can be bottled . for winter use. It becomes finer and more beautifully curled, if cut frequently. As the seed germinates slowly, it should be soaked a few hours in warm water, and sown in drills a foot apart and half an inch deep, as early in spring as possible. Thin to three or four inches apart. ^jg§ Thrives best in deep, rich soil. MOSS CURLED, or FERN LEAVED.—A beautiful fern or - moss-like variety. The best for garnishing. FINE TRIPLE CURLED. —Fine for seasoning; also good for table decoration. PARSNIP. French, Panais; German, Pasti?iake; Spanish, Chirivia. The Parsnip is nutritious and wholesome, with a sugary sweetness peculiar to itself, and is superior both for the table, and for stock feeding. It yields a large crop, and is said to be more valuable for dairy cows than either the carrot or turnip. As the seed ger- minates very slowly, sow as early in spring as possible, in drills fifteen inches apart, on deeply cultivated, rich, loamy soil. Keep clear of weeds, and thin to three or four inches apart. The roots are improved by freezing. LONG DUTCH SUGAR. —A fine-flavored, standard variety
