PARSNIP (Pastinaca sativa) 
CULTURE. — Sow about the second week in February, or first in 
March , or as early as the ground is in a fit state to receive the seed, 
choosing a light deep-trenched soil if possible; and if required for exhibition, 
make a hole two feet deep with a crowbar, push this round so that the hole 
is largest at the top, fill with fine soil, and finish off with dibbing in three 
seeds. After germinating leave the strongest seedling, assist them when in 
full growth, make four holes a foot deep in the soil and about fire inches 
away from the plant, which can be occasionally filled up with liquid manure, 
and with proper care and attention afterwards, clean, well-grown specimens 
will be the result, that will astonish all beholders.

KITCHEN AND TABLE POTATOES. 
E grow from 20 to 30 acres especially for seed, which, like all oar seeds, are finding favour 
wherever they go. Our soil being so different to most others they produce greater 
crops ; and having an abundance of land, we only occupy the same land for Potatoes 
once in five years. We grow 70 varieties, each with its particulars and qualities well known to 
us. We ouly catalogue those that we know will give satisfaction wherever they go. 
CULTURE. — Consider the condition of the soil — if rich, pulverize it by digging two , three , 
or four times ; if poor, manure it with our real manure, which always doubles the crop. Plant early, 
before the strong eyes at the principal end start growing. Do everything possible so that the foliage is in 
no way injured. Always fell a pride in seeing the tops die down a golden yellow, lake up early. 
Never clamp up tight until frosts set in — this prevents premature growth. Peel with a proper peeling 
knife. Do this every evening, and let them lay in water all night, ami you certainly cannot fail to have 
mealy, beautiful eatinq Potatoes.
