 nate, and should be given the most favorable conditions. A deep, rich, loamy soil 

 is required. For winter use a few plants placed in a box in the cellar will give a 

 supply.

variety is the large swollen or fleshy root, which resembles the root 

 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 thinned out. Pkt., 5c; oz., 15c; M lb., 25c; lb., 75c. 



PARSNIPS 



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 in 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 deep in rich, well-manured ground, 



1 oz. to 150 feet of drill. 



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.
