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 Viinch 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.

HOW TO GROW PARSLEY. 
—Important! It requires 3 to 4 
weeks for Parsley seed to germinate. Cover the seed i^inch. The soil must be moist. In dry 
weather it is next to impossible to get Parsley seed to germinate unless watered properly.
