Culture. — Deep mellow 

 soil is necessary for the full 

 developement of the Hollow 

 Crown Parsnip, 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. apart, covering the 

 seed % of an inch deep; when 

 well-up, thin out to 5 or 6 

 inches apart in the rows. 

 Parsnips are impr oved by 

 frost, and it is a usual custom 

 to take up in the fall a certain 

 quantity for winter use, leav- 

 ing the rest in the ground un- 

 til spring, to be dug as requir- 

 ed. Aside from the value of 

 the parsnip as a table vegeta- 

 ble, it is also one of the best 

 roots for cultivation for farm 

 purposes, furnishing a very nourshing food 

 particularly adapted to and relished by dairy 

 stock.
