CULTIVATION OF PARSNIP. 15 



NOTE. The practice in Brittany, is to divide the field into large ridge* 

 and throw up the earth from the furrows to increase the depth of the soil, 

 and on the edges they plant cabbages for the market or consumption. On 

 the top of the ridge at the distance of from five to six feet, they plant three 

 or four beans of a small size which forms a row along the ridge, and serve* 

 for their soup both green and dry.
