Riueg hill crossing. The work in hand
was the replacing of the frogs at the

IT
Parsley: Its Culture and Uses.

Parsley. which is known in the
botanical world as Petroselinum
sativum, is a native IF Europe, but the
use and culture of this plant have be-
come SO general in all parts Of the
world that recalling It's native home
seems now almost suftrfiuous.
There were formerly three leading
varieties, the common or plain leaved,
curled, and the Hamburg-sag or
carrot rooted parsley. the last being
cultivated for its roots, which are used
in soups and stews. Tho horticulturists
have since added several improved
kinds of parsley, in those known as the
fern-lcavcd, moss, and extra curled
species.
No garden, whether 1t be large or
small, is complete without a row of
parsley, not alone for decorative pur-
poses. although there arc few other
salad green's with which one can garn-
ish so effectively as with the pretty
feathery knots of this plant, but for the
different dishes that are made more
palatable with parsley as a seasoning.
The plants are easy Of culture and
the seeds may be sown in the
ground at any time during the garden
ing season. from April until September.
When wanted for early summer use,
the seeds must be soTn m cold frames
or window boxes before it is warm
enough for outdoor planting.
Parsley seed terminates very slowly.
For outdoor sowing always prepare the
seed by placing IL in not water. to soak
for twenty-four hours in a warm place.
Sow i'm drills one foot arart. in rich
mellow soil made free from Jumps and
stones. When one or two inches high
thin out the plants 20 six inches apart
in the rows. The plants which are
thinncd out may be transplanted into
other beds or borders, and so made use
Of.
Parsley may be used as border to 4
bed of perennial herbs. and it should
always be grown near the perennials,
where it will not be disturbed with the
spring filling of the rest &C the garden.
1t is biennial and hardy in most To-
calities. if it be given slight protection
of boughs or leaves during the winter
to save it from the extreme cold.
Plants raised from seeds sown i'm
September will live two winters and
through the third summer ii the flower
stalks are kept carefully pruned during
the growing seasons. Spring-sown
plants usually die during the second
winter September grown plants are
also the better for pottihg for winter
culture. Parsley will grow in a tenn
perature of a few degrees above frcez-
ing If it he given a sunny window.
The attic or basement furnishes good
winter quarters for house culture Of
this plant.
With many people the fondness for
parsley is an acquired taste. like that

Sieid an effectual aid. A plain dish OF
warmed over potatoes will acquire a
iestive appearance as well as de.
ilcious flavor by adding a little finely
minced parsley and then scattering q
re" or the whole leaves over the dish.
Every one knows that any form of cold
meat IS given an added relish by the
use OF parsley, either when chopped
ana used In combination as a salad or
as garnfsh to the dishes. Green
saiads are always incomplete without
a Dash of parsley, and all cooked
vegetable salads are made more sayorv
by the use of this pungent plant.
Again. In soups and stews OF both
meat and vegetables parsley imparts a
flavor that no wise cook will omit.
Finely minced parsley mixed with a
little French salad dressing, makes de-
iicious sandwiches. And a dish Of
the freshly gathered branches placed
on tho luncheon or tea table. to he
dipped in salt and eaten with bread
and butter. will furnish a hygienic
appetizer for simple meal that no
carefully prepared sweetmeat, or even
elaborate confection, could provide.
Parsley also contains stringent medi-
cinal virtues. the root being the
ofticinal part, although the seeds are
sometimes used as carminatives. and
French chemists obtain an essential

as a substitute for Guinine. Apien Is a

There are various other plants which
