CULTURE: Parsnips grow best in a loose, 
rich sandy loam, but will make good roots in 
any soil that is reasonably rich and deep. 
Stony soil and raw manure are likely to pro¬ 
duce branched or misshapen roots. The seed 
requires steady, abundant moisture for germi¬ 
nation and should be sown as early as prac¬ 
ticable. Sow in rows 2 to 21/2 feet apart and 
when well up, thin to about 5 inches apart in 
the row. Keep the ground moist if possible. 
Parsnips are improved by freezing, and a por¬ 
tion of the crop can be left in the ground all 
winter to be used as a spring vegetable. 
ALL AMERICAN. A new and improved and 
somewhat shorter variety with clear 
white roots which are smooth and of fine 
texture. An improvement over Hollow

are 12 to 15 inches long; 21/2 to 3 inches 
thick at the shoulder. Tapered uniformly 
to the tip. Smooth, easily taken from the 
ground. Flesh fine grained, slightly yel¬ 
low, and good quality.

HARRIS MODEL. Roots 15 inches long, 2 Vi 
to 3 inches thick at the shoulder, very

DER. A new strain of early California

ductiveness, size are very similar to the

CULTURE: Lighter type of soil 
seems to produce the best crop. Seed 
should be started in hot beds or cold 
frames and transplanted to the open 
as early in May as is possible. 
Should be set out in rows 2 feet apart 
and 20 inches apart in the row. Pep¬ 
pers require good soil. Some very 
rich fertilizer stirred into the soil 
when the plants are about 6 inches 
high, will be found very beneficial to 
the crop.
