A State Gardener's Opinion 
Nov. 12, 1940. 
Farmer Seed & Nursery Co., 
I am glad to tell you that we have never 
had a better garden or finer vegetables at the 
State Farm than we have had this past year. 
I put in 7 acres of Chantenay and Dan- 
vers Half Long Carrots and we harvested 
3,700 bushels of the finest Carrots you want 
to see. 
We also had 3 acres of Purple Top Strap 
Leaf Turnip, which netted us 1,500 bushels. 
An acre of Parsnips yielded 565 bushels, and 
we did not dig them all, but left some in the 
ground for spring. 
This was accomplished without irrigation 
and it proves that good seed is most essential 
for better crops and profits.

Parsnips 
‘One ounce for 200 feet of drill. Five to six 
pounds for an acre, 
A valuable root vegetable of rich sweet 
flavor and high food value. Frost improves 
the flavor, and parsnips can be left in the 
ground all winter, to be harvested in spring 
when fresh vegetables are scarcest. Seed 
germinates slowly. Sow early in drills.

sugary and considered the best for general

hours before planting. Sow early in spring, 
% inch deep. In the fall, a few plants may 
be set into pots, and taken indoors.
