PARSNIPS. (Mtinafe 



Aside from its value as a table vegetable, the Parsnip also furnishes a healthful and nourishing 

 food for stock, and is especially valued for this purpose by dairymen. Sow the seed in drills i s 

 inches apart, as early as possible in spring, and thin the plants until they are 5 or 6 inches 

 apart in the rows. The roots are improved by frost, and only enough for winter use need 

 be taken up in the fall, leaving the rest in the 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 harvested 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 agi-e, and the roots will be smooth and large if no fresh manure is used ; this tends to 

 mak* them coarse-grained and misshapen. An ounce of seed will sow 150 feet of drill : five 

 poutids will sow an acre. 

 >I|CFROVED HOLLOW CROWN. The variety most widely cultivated. The roots are 

 f ^2 tender and sweet, and^their yield per acre is heavy. _ Pkt. 5c., oz..ioc., %\h. 25c., lb. 75c.
