Parsnips, 
Breck’s Guernsey 

Green Peppers provide an excellent supply of 
vitamin C and a fair amount of vitamin A. 
Time to Plant—For an early crop the seed may 
be sown either in the house or in a coldframe in early 
April. However, seed sown from May 15 to June | 
in the open ground will produce a crop in late Summer. 
Seed Sowing—Sow the seeds thinly in flats or in 
a coldframe in light pulverized soil. Cover them with 
not over 44 inch of soil. 
Soil Preparation—Any reasonably good, well cul- 
tivated garden soil, preferably ground that has been 
manured the previous year. Soil too rich in nitrogen 
will tend toward the production of foliage rather 
than fruit. 
Transplanting—Seedlings started inside, should 
be transplanted as soon as they are large enough to 
handle, into boxes or individual pots and spaced far 
enough apart so that each will have ample space for 
development. These plants should be gradually 
hardened off by exposure to out-of-door conditions 
during favorable weather, before being permanently 
placed in the garden, about June |. Set the plants 
116 feet apart in rows leaving about 3 feet between 
the rows. 
1 ounce of seed should produce about 2000 plants

PARSNIP 
A good source of vitamin C. 
Parsnips are a valuable root crop and one of the 
easiest crops to handle. 
Time to Plant—lIt is desirable to plant early in 
the Spring (about April 20) but seeds sown as late as 
June 15 will produce a crop. 
Soil Preparation—As the roots penetrate to a 
depth of at least 15 inches, the soil should be deeply 
spaded and well fertilized. 
Planting—In rows 1% feet apart, covering the 
seed with not over !% inch of soil and later thinning 
the plants out to stand 3 inches apart in the rows. 
They should be frequently cultivated throughout 
the season. 
Harvesting—In the Fall as freezing weather ap- 
proaches the roots may be dug and used, or stored. 
As freezing improves the flavor it is best to let them 
remain in the ground protecting them with a mulch 
so that they may be harvested at any time during 
the Winter or early Spring.
