the seeds germinate very slowly, three or four

winter use, protect in a frame or light cellar.

Parsnips 
Partinake — Chirivia—Pastainaca 
Sow as early in spring as the weather will per¬ 
mit, in drills fifteen inches apart, covering lightly. 
When well up, thin out to five or six inches apart 
in the rows. They are improved by frost, and it 
is a good plan to take up in the fall a certain 
quantity for winter use, leaving the rest in the 
ground until spring, to be dug up as required. 
They should be more extensively grown for stock 
feeding, being more nutritious than turnips, and 
an immense cropper.
