PARSNIP 



The Parsnip will 

 flourish best and 

 give the longest, 

 largest and 

 smoothest roots In 

 a very deep, rich 

 soil — one that has 

 been made rich 

 from manure the 

 previous year. 

 Fresh manure 

 makes the roots 

 somewhat ill- 

 shaped. Sow as 

 early in the spring 

 as the ground can 

 be made ready, 

 pretty thickly in 

 drills from 12 to 18 

 inches apart, and 



about an inch deep. Thin the plants to five or six inches apart. 



HOIiIiOW CROWN OB SUGAR. — The Hollow Crown is su- 

 perior in quality to all other varieties, and the preferred kind 

 with Baltimore gardens. The roots are smooth, tender, hand- 

 some shape and early. "We have the finest stock of Hollow 

 Crown Parsnips that we know of in this country.

CUIiTTTRi:. — Good plants are easily grown In any good gar- 

 den soil. Sow seed thinly in shallow drills a foot apart, thin 

 to 4 or 5 inches. Keep soil loose and free from weeds. The 

 plants are liable to vary considerably. Pick out the strongest

PARSLEY 



Select rich soil; sow the seed in drills one foot apart, cover- 

 ing half an inch deep. It would be well to firm the soil with 

 the foot after sowing the seed. As the seed is usually from 

 15 to 25 days in germinating, it will be necessary to sow early. 

 Thin plants to 4 inches apart when 2 inches high. The beauty 

 of the plant may be increased by several successive trans- 

 plantings. It is used principally for flavoring soups, etc., and 

 for garnishing in its natural state.
