PARSNIPS. 



(^aftinafc.) ^JS^^t^.^; 

 Aside from its value as a table vegetable the ^={fe^l 

 Parsnip also furnishes a healthful and nourish- 

 ing food for' stock, and is especially valued for "lytw 

 this purpose by dairymen. Sow the seed m ^ 

 drills 15 inches apart, as early as possiljle in 

 spring, and thin the plants until thcv are 5 or 

 6 inches ^part in the rows. The roots are in - 

 proved by frost, and only enough for winter usr , 

 need betaken up in the fall, leaving the rest in i 

 tlie ground until spring, to be dug up as required. ' 

 By running a plow, such as is used for breaking 

 sod, along one side of the rows, field crops of 

 Parsnips will be thrown out so that they can be 

 liarvested easily. Deep, rich, sandy soil is best 

 suited to the culture of Parsnips, but on any 

 deep, rich, mellow soil the yield is good per 

 acre, and the roots will be smooth and large, 

 if no fresh manure is used ; this tends to make 

 them coarse-grained and misshapen. An ounce 

 of seed will sow 150 feet of drill ; five pounds 

 will sow an acre. 



LONG HOLLOW CROWN. The variety 

 most widely cultivated. The roots are tender 

 and sweet, and their yield per acre is heavy.
