Parsnip 
@e Plant % oz. to 100 feet of drill; 
3 Ibs: per. acre. All) root. crops do 
best in loose rich, sandy loam soil, 
but will do well in’ any that is 
reasonably rich and deep if plowed 
or spaded to a good depth. Avoid 
stony soil as this will cause poorly 
shaped roots. Drill in rows 18 to 
24 inches apart. Cover the seed % 
inch deep. The seeds germinate 
slowly and require plenty of mois- 
ture. Do not allow the soil to be- 
come dry as germination will be 
ruined. A few lettuce seed mixed 
with the parsnip will come up 
quickly and mark the row so that 
you can cultivate before the pars- 
nips come up if necessary. For the 
best quality of roots the ground 
should be kept moist throughout 
the growing season. Parsnips are 
improved by freezing. The tops 
may be removed after killing frost 
and the roots stored as instructed 
on page 89.
