a 
PARSNIP. 
The Cultivation of Parsnip. -Sow the seed early in March as soon as the season will permit. The ground should he well manured and deeply trenched ; tbe 
drills about 15 inches apart, and the plants thinned out the same distance apart. 
CARTERS’ 
MALTESE PARSNIP. 
(See Illustration.) 
We consider this Strain the very best, as we 
take the greatest pains to keep our stock true. 
Every season our crops are gone through and 
re-selected; a very necessary proceeding with 
the Parsnip. 
In many gardens the Parsnip never gets a fair chane#— 
in the first place the ground is not dug sufficiently deep, neither 
is it manured liberally. These are both important points in its 
cultivation. If the tap root cannot penetrate freely into the soil 
the result is always more or less disappointing.
