which are used for flavoring. .

PARSNIP 
Parsnips require the whole season to mature and 
should therefore be sown early, in rows 18-24" 
apart. The soil must be well worked; lumps, 
stones or new manure will lead to forked and 
irregular roots. A few radishes are frequently 
sown at the same time to mark the row. Thin 
out 3”-4” apart. Frost improves the roots. 

Hollow Crown: The most popular variety. Broad 
shouldered with pronounced crown and long, 
tapering roots; fine grained, tender. 
All-American: Of medium length with wide 
shoulder; flesh white; core small.
