Parsnip.s prefer very wet soil and will thrive where 
carrots will not grow. They make splendid stoclt 
feed, and horses prefer them to car¬ 
rots. A freeze is reoiiired to sweeten ■■ 
them. For the best resuits, (icep soil 
is needed, and fresh manure should not 
be used as it will cause the roots to 
divide.
