attractive appearance. Excellent for cultivation 
on heavy soil.

winter and avoid bruising.

Salsifis SALSIFY Sassefrica 
Sow seed in May in rows two feet apart and thin 
plants to three inches. The general culture is like 
parsnip. Delicious stews may be made from them 
resembling nothing so much as oyster stew.

Do not fail to take advantage of our special 
discount for early orders as well as our discount 
for quantities. See the inside front cover. 
Sow in April or May. Parsnips 
require a long time to mature and 
are cultivated the same as Carrots. 
Be sure to thin well to insure good 
results. Parsnips may be dug and 
stored in ground pits or in the cellar 
for winter use but if left remaining 
in the ground until spring the flavor 
will be greatly improved. Remem¬ 
ber, Parsnips will always do better 
if given plenty of room to develop.

acre

smooth and snow white. The root 
lacks the small roots and prongs which disfigure so 
many of the other varieties of Parsnip. Its diame¬ 
ter is greater than that of the Hollow Crown. A
