After soaking the seeds of parsley for a few hours in warm water,
they may be sown in the same manner as celery seed and the plants
transplanted to the open ground. At the North, parsley will live over
winter in a cold frame or pit, and in the South it will thrive in the
open ground during the winter, but it can not withstand the heat of
summer. The plants should be set in rows 12 inches apart and every
4 inches in the row. The leaves of parsley are used for garnishings
around meats and for flavoring soups.--(F. B. 255, 295; N. Car. E. S.
