Turnip-Rooted, or Hamburg [5 3937.4; 
variety is the large eeilen or fleshy root, which resembles the roat 
of a Parsnip, and is highly esteemed for flavoring soups, stews, 
etc. As the root is the portion desired, the young plants should 
be well thinnea out. Pkt., 10c; 0z., 15c; 14 lb., 25c; Ib., 75c. 
PARSNIPS 
1 oz. to 150 feet of drill. 
Parsnips are well known as a delicious table vegetable, but their 
value for the purpose of feeding cattle and stock is but little ap- 
preciated. 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 increase 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 ip quality by the con- 
tinued freezing. 
Sow as early in the spring as the weather will permit, in drills 
15 inches apart and half an inch Gee 1 in rich, well-manured ground, 
well dug. Cultivate similar to Carrots, and thin out to 6 inches 
apart in the rows. To keep well in the ground over winter, draw 
a little earth over the tops.
