PARSNIPS 



Not even a tyro at gardening or 

 botany needs to be told that the parsnip 

 is own cousin to the carrot. It is equally 

 obvious, however, that the two belong to 

 quite different species. The parsnip 

 has been rather neglected by the scien- 

 tific plant developer and there is abun- 

 dant opportunity for its improvement.
