CULTURE—Plant as early in the spring as the weather will permit 
and continue planting till the middle of June. Plant 44 inch deep 
in a rich, deeply worked, sandy loam, in rows 18 inches apart, and 
when 2 inches high thin out to 4 to 6 inches apart. Parsnips germi- 
nate slowly, especially in dry weather; plant a few radish seeds 
with them to mark the row for early cultivation. Parsnips are im- 
proved by frost, so they can be dug as wanted, or stored for winter 
use. Do not use fresh stable manure on parsnips. An ounce plants 
25 feet of drill; 5 pounds plant an acre. —
