Parsnip, Parsley and Horse-Radish 
PARSNIP 
Culture.— The value of the Parsnip as a culinary vegetable is well known, 
but is not generally appreciated at its full value for stock feeding. On favorable 
soil it yields an immense crop of roots, more nutritious than turnips and very 
valuable for dairy stock. . . , , ., , . -i, i 
Parsnips are usually grown on deep, rich, sandy soil, but will make good 
roots on any soil which is deep, mellow and moderately rich. Fresh manure is 
apt to make the roots coarse and ill-shaped. As the seed is sometimes slow and 
uneven in growth, it should be sown as early as possible in drills two and one- 
half feet apart ; cover one-half inch deep and press the soil firmly over the seed. 
Give frequent cultivation and thin the plants to six inches apart in the row. 
CONDON'S WHITE QUEEN 
This is a highly improved type, producing uniformly large and hand- 
some roots of stocky form heavy at the shoulder, virell rounded, gradually 
tapering to the base, so tli'at they are easily dug, and i£ grown in properly 
Dulverized soil the roots will be smooth and tree from wrinkles and side 
roots The flesh is white, of fine texture, free from core and stringlness, 
and especially fine flavored, cooking tender, sweet, and rich, rendering It 
one of the finest of table vegetables for winter use. The roots may re- 
main in the ground all winter, being hardy, or some may be dug late in 
the fall and stored In sand or soil, so that they can be gotten at easily 
when the ground Is frozen. Frost improves their quality. This parsnip Is 
the heaviest cropper of all, and we recommend it for both garden and field 
culture, packet, 8 cents; otuic«, 16 cents; % pound, 45 cents; Ya pound,

BOHEMIAN HORSE-RADISH 
SETS 
"MAI^INZiR-XREK" 
This Is grown by planting the small sets or 
pieces from the side roots in deep, rich soil and 
cultivating in the same manner as with the ordin- 
ary variety of Horse-Radish, but the plants are 
so much stronger in growth that the roots grow 
to considerably larger size and greater weight. 
The quick, strong growth not only gives a much 
larger crop from a given area, both in size or 
single roots and bulk weight of crop, but also 
enables the grower to place the roots in the 
markets much earlier than with the ordinary 
variety. Small Roots, ready for planting: 25 cents 
per dozen; or $1.75 per 100; by mall, postpaid. 
By express or freight: Roots of uniform length, 
in bunches of 50, 85^ cents per lOO; $7.50 per 
SsTSSrwUsb 1,000.
