Cultivation. — Parsnips are amongst the most nutritious of vegetables, and are quite easy to grow ; a good loamy soil free from stones being the most 
suitable. Havo the ground thoroughly trenched (at least two feet deep) in the Autumn, and'give a good dressing of farmyard manure, leaving it rough for- 
the Winter. Early in February the bud should be levelled, forked down, and the seeds sown in drills about 1 £ feet apart; thin the young plants out to- 
about 12 inches apart as soon as it is possible to handle them, and be sure to keep the ground thoroughly clean between the rows by frequent hoeing. 
When specimen roots are being grown for exhibition, holes should be bored three or four feet deep with a crowbar, and filled with specially mixed' 
soil, leaf mould, and wood ashes ; sow four or five seeds in each hole and thin out the plants, leaving one to each ; weed the ground carefully and apply 
a sprinkling of soot to keep away pests. 
Parsnips are always bottor when allowed to remain in the ground and lifted when required for use, but when it is necessary to lift and store- 
them, they should be placed in dry sand in a dark shed or cellar.

Cultivation.— All kinds like a good rich soil ; for the Summer Spinach select a warm border and sow the seeds in rows, where a little shade can be 
riven ; it is often grown between the rows of Peas ami Beans. It- is important that the plants should be thinned out so as to allow plenty of room foi 
each to develop, and that the crop should be kept well gathered while young,
