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. 



HOLLOW CROWN OR 

 SUGAR — The Hollow Crown 

 is superior in quality to all 

 other varieties, and the pre- 

 ferred kind with Baltimore 

 gardeners. The roots are 

 smooth, tender, handsome 

 shape and early. We have 

 the finest stock of Hollow 

 Crown Parsnips that we 

 know of in this country.

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.
