Qn the cultivation of the Parsnip, as it is prac- 

 tised in Guernsey,

THE great superiority of this root, as cultivated 

 in Guernsey and the neighbouring islands, to its 

 produce in Britain, the high reputation which it 

 bears among the farrrjers in those islands, and 

 the very little knowledge of it, which those of 

 Britain seem to possess, have induced me to lay 

 before the Society, a short accoupt of ^*he me- 

 thods practised in its culture in Guernsey. 



I am inclined to think, that it will be found 

 much more worthy the attention of agriculturists, 

 than has been hitherto supposed, and that it 

 will form a material and valuable addition to 

 the system of green crops, \yhen it shall become 

 better known,.
