Champion Hollow Crown Parsnips 
Okra 
The tender, young pods are used for seasoning soups and 
stews. Sow the seed thickly in rich soil, about the middle of 
May, in drills 3 feet apart, and cover the seeds an inch deep. 
Thin the young plants to stand 10 inches apart, hoe them 
often and earth up the stems a little in cultivation, for support. 
One ounce of seed will plant 100 hills 
Improved Dwarf. 50 days. Grows about 14 inches high;

with no square edges or disagreeable prickles; also larger

than the curled varieties; very hardy. 
Turnip-rooted. 90 days. Forms thick, fleshy, edible roots 
used extensively as flavoring. 
Parsnips 
Aside from its value as a table vegetable, the Parsnip also 
furnishes a healthful and nourishing food for stock, and is 
especially valued for this purpose by dairymen. Sow the seed 
in drills 15 inches apart, as early as possible in spring, and thin 
the plants until they are 5 to 6 inches apart in the rows. The 
roots are improved by frost, and only enough for winter use 
need be taken up in the fall, leaving the rest in the ground until 
spring, to be dug up as required. By running a plow, such as 
is used for breaking sod, along one side of the rows, field crops 
of Parsnips will be thrown out so that they can be harvested 
easily. Deep, rich, heavy soil is best suited, but on any deep, 
rich, mellow soil the yield is good per acre, and the roots will 
be smooth and large if no fresh manure is used. 
Sow y 4 ounce of seed to 100 feet of drill; 4 pounds, an acre 
Champion Hollow Crown. 110 days. The variety most 
widely grown; tender, sweet; very productive.
