Par.sinips prefer very wet soil and will thrive where 
carrol.s- will not (trow. They make splendid stock 
feed, and horses prefer them to car¬ 
rots. A freeze is required to sweeten 
them. For the he.<t results, deep soil 
is needed, and fresh manure should not 
be used as it will cause ihc roots to 
divide.
