Parsnips (Pasture) 



Parsnips require a deeply dug but not necessarily rich soil. The largest 

 and smoothest roots are grown in light, mellow soil, free from stones. Fresh 

 manure causes rough and mis-shapen roots. 



The seed should be sown as early as the ground is fit — never later than 

 mid-May. Make the rows l'/2 feet apart and cover the seed about Yl i ncn 

 deep. Thin out the plants to stand 4 to 5 inches apart. Give frequent 

 deep cultivation.

Victoria. The most popular variety. Large, tender, juicy stalks. Pkt., 10c; 

 oz., 25c; !4 lb., 80c. 



RHUBARB ROOTS 



The quickest way to have Rhubarb is to plant clumps. If large clumps 

 are planted, some stalks may be pulled the first year. Plant roots 3 to 5 

 feet apart in well-manured ground, cultivate frequently and cut off seed 

 stalks as soon as they appear. After the ground is frozen, mulch with 

 strawy manure. 



Our roots are strictly first quality from transplanted seedlings, all new 

 roots and not the old woody clumps so often offered.
