ILiMBUEG Paeslet. — This variety is plain-leaved, 

 with more vigorous habits than the Dwarf Curled; 

 it is cultivated for the roots, which frequently grow 

 on rich ground to the size of medium Parsnips. They 

 are boiled and ser^'ed in the same manner as Parsnips. 

 The seeds should be sown in drills eighteen inches 

 apart, and when the plants are two inches high, they 

 must be thinned out to three inches apart in the row.
