PARSNIPS 
Postpaid 
PARSNIPS should be grown in every home garden not only because of 
their delicious flavor, but because they may be harvested at times when 
the garden has little else to offer. Let them remain in the ground over 
winter, and dig them during a thaw or when the spring thaw comes—they 
will be as sweet and tender as ever. A freeze is required to sweeten them. 
CULTURE—They do best in deep rich soil, but will make good roots 
in any soil which is deep and mellow and moderately rich. As the seed is 
slow to germinate, it should be sown as early as possible; cover one-half 
inch deep, and press the soil firmly over the seed; give frequent cultivation, 
and thin the plants 6 to 8 to the foot. As they are improved by frost, a part 
of the crop should be left in the ground for spring use. One ounce will sow 
150 feet of drill, 5 pounds to an acre.
