PARSNIPS. 
Parsnips should be sown in the early spring, as the seed will 
seldom germinate in dry, hot weather. Sow in drills 18 inches 
apart, and thin to three inches in the drill. Cultivate the same as 
carrots. Parsnips are improved by remaining in the ground until 
spring ; those wanted for winter use can be dug and stored in pits. 
They are excellent for fattening cattle and hogs.
