HOLLOW CROWN 
PARSNIP 
Culture—Sow as early in the spring as 
weather conditions will permit or until the 
middle of June if desired, but as parsnip seed 
is very delicate and does not germinate well 
during hot weather, early sowing is recom- 
mended. Plant in rows 18 inches apart in 
rich, sandy loam soil, deeply worked, cover- 
ing the seed about 4 inch, and thin the plants 
to 5 inches and cultivate frequently. Parsnips 
are excellent for stock as well as for the table, 
and are much improved in flavor by frost, and 
may be left in the ground during the winter 
and dug as wanted. One ounce will sow 
about 100 feet of row; 5 pounds to the acre. 
IMPROVED SUGAR or HOLLOW CROWN 
—Has long, white, smooth roots. The 
flesh is tender, of good flavor and very 
sweet. Is uniform in shape and decided- 
ly the best variety, either for table use 
or stock feed.

PUMPKIN 
Culture—Pumpkins are easy to raise and 
are very valuable for hogs, cattle and poultry, 
as well as for table use. Plant in May and 
June in rich hills 8 feet apart, covering the 
seed about 1 inch. Keep well cultivated, and 
when the plants are well up, thin to 3 of the 
strongest to each hill. Pumpkins also do well 
when grown in the corn, planting a few seeds 
in every fifth hill in every fourth or fifth row, 
letting the hill of pumpkin take the place of a 
hill of corn. Do “not plant near melons, 
squashes or cucumbers, as they will hybridize, 
which will spoil the flavor of both. 
VIRGINIA MAMMOTH—This is the most 
popular and probably the most satisfac- 
tory variety for growing in this section

RADISH 
Culture—To have radishes crisp and tender 
they must be grown quickly, which requires 
rich, light soil, well prepared and plenty of 
moisture. For very early use may be sown 
in hotbeds and. given plenty of ventilation. 
For later, sow outside in drills at intervals of 
10 days for succession. For fall and winter 
use, sow the winter varieties in August and 
September. Radishes being very hardy, will 
endure moderately cold weather. One ounce 
will sow 50 feet of row, 8 to 10 pounds to the 
acre, in drills. 
EARLY SCARLET GLOBE—This is probably 
the earliest radish and one of the best 
for forcing. A beautiful, transparent,
