Parsnip. 
Cultivation. — The Parsnip luxuriates in deep rich soil, which should be subsoiled, and the manure applied should be 
thoroughly decomposed ; ground prepared in this manner will always produce long smooth roots. Sow in February in drills 
drawn eighteen inches apart, and cover with about half-an-inch of fine soil. When the young plants are about 2 to 3 inches 
high thin out to four inches. They are perfectly hardy, and should be dug up only as required.
