flavor to the soup. Itis also used as a vegetable. The pods should be picked 
when they are small and tender. Sow in the open ground when the ground 
is thoroughly warm, in this latitude about the middle of May and not 
later than June 15th. Sow in rows 214 feet apart and thin to 15 inches.

of space and add immeasurably to the 
value and satisfaction of the home garden. 
See pages 83 to 85 for Strawberries, Rasp- 
berries, Blackberries and Grapes. 

This fine vegetable should be in every home garden. A few rows will 
supply the needs of a family. The roots can be dug and stored in a pit 
outdoors or in moist dirt in a cool cellar and will supply a welcome addi- 
tion to the winter vegetables. Should be left in the ground until they are 
frozen. Try some “French fried” parsnips, they are delicious. Sow seed 
in May in rows 2 feet apart in finely pulverized soil and cover the seed 
only % in. deep. Thin the plants to 4 inches apart.

following spring. Some plants can be transplanted into boxes of earth and 
kept in a light cellar or kitchen window for winter use.
