PARSNIPS 
Parsnips are usually grown on deep, rich, sandy 
soil, but will make good roots on any soil which is 
deep, mellow and moderately rich. Fresh manure is 
apt to make the roots a little coarse and ill shaped. As 
the seed is sometimes slow to germinate, it should be 
sown as early as possible in drills two and one-half 
feet apart, cover one-half inch deep and press the soil 
firmly over the seed. Give frequent cultivation and thin 
the plants to three or four to the foot. 
GUERNSEY 
Guernsey (Improved Half-Long)—There is a great 
demand for this Parsnip because it has all of the good 
qualities of other parsnips and only grows about one- 
half as long. It is easily harvested, is of good quality, 
being tender and crisp at all times. It is very desirable 
particularly for heavy soils and is a good home garden 
variety because it is easily dug.

variety which has proved to be perfectly adapted to 
the Northwest. Our seed has been grown in this

mated. The vines are semi-dwarf, growing about three 
feet high, and the yield, size and quality of the pea*

and of fine flavor.
