Parsnips, Parsley and Peppers. 



PARSNIPS. 



(^aSttnafen.) 



Aside from its value as a table vegetable, the Parsnip also'furnislies a healthful and 

 uourishmg food for stock. Sow the seed in drills 15 inches apart, as early as possible in 

 spring, and thm the plants until they are 5 or 6 inches apart in the rows. The roots are 

 improved bv frost and only enough for winter use need be taken up in the fall, leaving the 

 rest m 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 thev can be harvested easily. Deep, rich, heavy soil is best suited to the culture of Par- 

 snips, 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 mince of seed will sow 100 feet of drill; five pounds will sow an acre.
