pensable for flavoring- and for

y, in 2 or 3 weeks and 
therefore should he soaked in 
warm water for a few hours be¬ 
fore planting. Sow early in spring,

and when plants are of good size,

PARSNIP 
1 oz. for 200 feet of drill. 
5-6 lbs. for an acre. 
The parsnip is one of our 
most valuable root vegetables, 
because of its rich sweet flavor 
and high food value. Frost im¬ 
proves the flavor, and parsnips 
can be left in the ground all 
winter, to be harvested in 
spring when fresh vegetables 
are scarcest. 
Parsnips do best in rich deep 
soil, but fresh manure should 
not be used. Seed germinates 
slowly, and may be sown early 
in drills. Thin the plants to 
stand 4 or 5 inches apart.
