a 
Parsnip 4 Lbs. per Acre 
A FALL and Winter vegetable. They are 
delicious boiled, then split and browned 
in butter. Beside being popular for table use, 
they are suitable for stock feeding. 
Culture—They do well in deep, loose, rich soil, taking 
caution not to plant in stony soil and raw manure as 
they are likely tq produce divided roots. Sow in the 
Spring as soon as weather permits in rows 4 in. deep, 
114 ft. to 2 ft. apart and when plants are large enough 
thin out to 4 ins. apart in the row. The seed is slow 
to sprout and requires abundant moisture. Cultivate 
throughout the growing season and keep the ground 
moist if possible. The sweetness of parsnips is im- 
proved by frost. The hardy roots can remain in the 
ground all Winter, digging them during a thaw as 
needed, or they may be stored in a cool-cellar.
