The Whitest Parsnip 
Our customers find this to be the best 
variety that they can grow. 
These parsnips are snow white and 
smooth with practically no side roots or 
prongs. They are hollow crown and of good 
length, but not too long. Their smoothness 
is quite remarkable, giving the roots a very 
attractive appearance so that they usually 
sell for top prices on the market. 
Our seed is entirely of our own growing 
from carefully selected transplanted roots.
