A FALL and Winter vegetable. They are 
delicious boiled, then split and browned 
in butter. Beside being popular for table use, 
they are suitable for stock feeding. 
Culture—They do well in deep, loose, rich soil, taking 
caution not to plant in stony soil and raw manure as 
they are likely tq produce divided roots. Sow in the 
Spring as soon as weather permits in rows V 2 in. deep, 
IVz ft. to 2 ft. apart and when plants are large enough 
thin out to 4 ins. apart in the row. The seed is slow 
to sprout and requires abundant moisture. Cultivate 
throughout the growing season and keep the ground 
moist if possible. The sweetness of parsnips is im¬ 
proved by frost. The hardy roots can remain in the 
ground all Winter, digging them during a thaw as 
needed, or they may be stored in a cool cellar. 
P ARSLEY takes up little room in the 
garden. It is valuable for garnishing and 
flavoring.

Culture—Sow the seed early in 
the Spring thickly in rows 1 ft. 
apart, Yi ins. deep pressing the 
soil firmly and thin to stand 4 to 
6 ins. apart in the row. Do not 
be disheartened if the plants do 
not appear within a month, be¬ 
cause the seed is very slow to ger¬ 
minate. The seed will germinate 
more quickly if soaked a few hours 
in warm water befor^ sowing. The 
leaves are ready to cut when 3 
ins. high, every cutting improv¬ 
ing the quality. For Winter use 
protect in a frame.
