 variety for salad. Oz. 15c. j^ lb. 40c.

I oz. will sow 100 ft. of 

 drill, 5 Ibs.^to an acre. 



Culture. — Deep mel- 

 low soil is necessary for 

 the full developement of 

 the Hollow Crown Pars- 

 nip, because the truest 

 type of Hollow Crown 

 will show a high Crown 

 when grown in stiff soil. 



Sow as early in the 

 spring as the weather 

 will permit, in drills 15 in- 

 ches apart, covering the 

 seed % of an inch deep; 

 when well-up, thin out to 

 5 or 6 inches apart in the 

 rows. Parsnips are im- 

 proved by frost, and it is a 

 usual custom to take up in 

 the fall a certain quantity 

 for winter use, leaving the 

 rest in the ground until 

 spring, to be dug as re- 

 quired. Aside from the 

 value of the parsnip as a 

 table vegetable, it is also 

 one of the best roots for 

 cultivation for farm pur- 

 poses, furnishing a very 

 nourishing food particu- 

 larly adapted to and re- 

 .y^ , I IJshed by dairy stock.
