Parsnip 
A Sweet Delicate-Fleshed Variety 
(See Photograph) 
A truly refined Parsnip. When 
lifted it leaves the ground clean, 
smooth, and well shaped. It is not 
so large as our Maltese, but its 
flavour is unusually marrow-like 
and delicate. The Royal Horti- 
cultural Society, reporting, says: 
“Roots thick, handsome, and not 
too large; just the size and shape a 
Parsnip should be.’’

“ The Holborn Marrow Parsnip is the 
most delicious I ever tasted, and it de- 
serves all you say about it.” — J. Freeman,

A Superb Giant Parsnip for Exhibition 
or Table Use 
We are confident that this highly 
selected strain cannot be surpassed 
either for size or flavour, the roots, 
which attain to a very large size, 
being as tender and sweet flavoured 
as varieties which do not reach one 
half the size.

The Cultivation of Parsnip. — Sow the 
seed early in March as soon as the season 
will permit. The ground should be well 
manured and deeply trenched, the drills 
about 15 inches apart and the plants 
thinned out the same distance apart. The 
quality of the roots is improved by allow- 
ing them to winter in the ground for spring 
use. One ounce of seed will plant 100 feet 
of drill; 5 pounds to the acre.

"Your seeds 
turned out splen- 
didly last year; 
I had wonderful 
crops, some of the 
M al tese Parsnips 
weighed 4 pounds 
2 ounces each and were quite 
sweet and succulent, not 
a bit strong in consequence 
of the size.” — Mrs. Phillips.
