PARSNIP 



-PASTINAKE 



Parsnips are well known as a delicious table vegetable, 

 but their value for the purpose of feeding cattle and 

 stock is but little appreciated. The parsnip is rich in 

 saccharine food, which adds greatly to the richness of the 

 milk when fed to cows, while the fresh, succulent roots in- 

 crease the flow of milk as greatly as does the use of fresh, 

 green food in the spring. It is especially valuable for the 

 purpose from its extreme hardiness, as the roots can be 

 left in the ground all winter and improve in quality by 

 the continued freezing. 



1 oz. to 150 feet of drill. 



Sow as early in the spring as the 

 weather will permit, in drills fifteen 

 inches apart and half an inch deep; 

 in rich, well-manured ground, well 

 dug. Cultivate similar to Carrots, 

 and thin out to six inches apart in 

 the rows. To keep well in the 

 ground over winter, draw a little 

 earth over the tops.

— The best variety in cultivation 

 for general use; roots white, 

 smooth, of intermediate length; 

 sugary, of excellent flavor. Pkt. 

 5c; % lb. 15c; lb. 40c 



Improved Guernsey. — An im- 

 proved strain, which has given gen- 

 eral satisfaction. The roots do not 

 grow so long as those of the Hol- 

 low Crown, but are of greater di- 

 ameter and more easily gathered. 

 Of excellent quality. Pkt. 5c; Y 

 lb. 15c; lb. 40c.
