HOW TO GROW THEM. Parsnips need a deep, loose, 
rich soil to produce straight, smooth clean roots. Sow seed as 
early in spring as weather permits, when soil is warm. Make 
rows 11, feet apart and sow seed in rows; cover seed 14inch 
when soil is moist; then when plants are 3 to 4 inches high, 
thin out to 4 inches between the plants. The roots are improved 
in quality and flavor if left in the ground over winter. Enough 
for winter use should be stored in pits or cellars and covered 
with earth to preserve their good quality.
