Parsnips 
A packet will sow 25 feet of row; 1 ounce 150 feet; 5 to 6 pounds to the acre, 
A few rows will supply the needs of the average family. A slow germi- 
nating seed, break any crust that forms on the ground along the seeded 
row. Be certain soil is kept moist and soft from time seed is sown until 
the plants have become well established. Thin to 4 inches between plants. 
Seed sown in the spring produces a crop by fall. The roots are hardy 
and may be left in the soil until the following spring, but we suggest that 
a portion of the crop be dug in the fall and stored for winter use.

Peanuts 
One-fourth pound will plant 40 feet of row; 1 lb. to 150 feet; 30 to 40 Ibs. per acre.

Plant 2 to 3 inches deep, with the hulls on, in rows about 3 feet apart, 
and about 10 inches apart in the rows. When the plants are nearly full 
grown throw earth up to them. This will cause the nuts to form. When 
ripe, dig up the vines and hang up to dry.
