Protect in the open under glass. Or mulch. 



Pot some of the plants for the house. They do well 

 in any warm window. 



Diseases and pests are chiefly those of Parsnip and 

 Celery, which see. Against the parsley-worm use helle-

PARSLEY, HAMBURG. See Parsley, Turnip- 

 Rooted. 



PARSLEY PERT. See Samphire. 



PARSLEY, TURNIP-ROOTED, or Hamburg, is a 

 variety with large parsnip-shaped roots, for which the 

 plant is cultivated. The flavor is something like 

 Celeriac, and the plant is cultivated like most root- 

 crops. The roots will stand the early frosts, but like 

 carrots should be taken up and stored in sand for win- 

 ter use. 



Soil. Any good garden earth, preferably rich and 

 cool, not freshly manured. 



Distances. Rows a foot apart. 



Depth. About one-half inch. 



Sow thinly in the rows when the ground is fit, or in 

 mild climates sow in the fall. Plants mature in about 

 three months from sprouting.
