A Bunch of Parsnips 



Not even a tyro at gardening or botany needs be told that 



the parsnip is own cousin to the carrot. It is equally obvious, 



h&wever, that the two belong to quite different species. Like its cousin, 



the parsnip has been rather neglected by the plant developer. 



Mr. Burbank has experimented with it to a certain extent, 



but the demand for the vegetable is not sufficient to 



justify his giving a great amount of time to 



it. Some one who cares to make the 



effort can no doubt improve it in 



a good many directions.
