PARSNIP 
One ounce will sow a row 150 feet 
long; 5 to 6 lbs. to the acre 
HOW TO GROW THEM.—Parsnips need a deep, loose, rich soil 
to produce straight, smooth clean roots. Sow seed as early in spring 
as weather permits, when soil is warm. Make rows 1 Vi feet apart 
and sow seed in rows; cover seed Vi inch when soil is moist; then 
when plants are 3 to 4 inches high, thin them out to 4 inches between 
the plants. The roots are improved in quality and flavor if left in the 
ground over winter. Enough for winter use should be stored in pits 
or cellars and covered with earth to preserve their good quality.

then sowing it out immedi¬ 
ately, will help.
