CULTURE: Parsnips grow best in a loose, rich sandy 
loam, but will make good roots in any soil that is 
reasonably rich and deep. Stony soil and raw manure 
are likely to produce 
branched or misshapen 
roots. The seed requires 
steady, abundant moisture 
for germination and should 
be sown as early as 
practicable. Sow in rows 
2 to 2% feet apart and 
after plants are 3 to 4 
inches high thin to 3 
inches apart. Keep the 
ground well worked and 
fairly moist. Parsnips are 
improved by freezing, and 
a portion of the crop can 
be left in the ground all 
winter to be used as a 
spring vegetable. 
ALL AMERICAN. A new
