PARSNIPS 



DWARF EXTRA CURLED PARSLEY. 



(^aStinafen) 



Sow the seed in drills 15 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 row, field crops of Parsnips will be thrown out so 

 that they can be harvested easily. Deep, rich, heavy 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 100 feet of drill; 5 pounds will sow an acre.

 is heavy. Always good and |in demand. Pkt.
