PARSNIP. 
Sow the seed in drills 15 inches apart as early as possible in spring, and thin the plants until they 
are 5 or 6 inches apart in the rows. The roots are much improved by frost; to be dug up as required. 
On the approach of cold weather, cover them heavily with manure or litter. Deep, rich, heavy soil is 
best suited to the culture of Parsnips, and the roots will be smooth and large if no fresh manure is used, 
as this tends to make them coarse-grained and misshapen. One-half oz. to 50 feet of drill; 8 pounds 
to the acre.

RADISH. 
Sow in sheltered spot, the earth being deeply dug, highly fertilized, and raked free from clods and 
stones. Radishes grown on poor, thin soil cannot be made good; they will be misshapen and tough. 
To be good they must be grown quickly. Radishes can be forced by covering with a window or a gash. 
One oz. to 100 feet of drill; 10 to 15 pounds per acre.
