Guernsey Parsnip 
PARSNIPS 
Tender and delicious late in the fall, especially 
after a frost which adds sweetness to the flavor. 
A favorite way to serve parsnips is to parboil 
them, turn gently in brown sugar and butter so 
as to glaze them to an appetizing reddish gold 
and serve with broiled ham. Sow seed early in 
the spring in rows 2 to 3 ft. apart and cover with 
2 in. of fine soil. Thin seedlings to stand 4 to 6 
in. apart in the row. A pkt. will sow about 20 ft. 
of row; 1 oz. to 200 ft. Roots may be stored for 
winter use, or some may be left in the ground all 
winter for use early the following spring as soon 
as you can dig them.

PEAN UTS protein foods 
Roasted peanuts, salted peanuts, peanut butter and peanut 
candies are well known to all of us. Have you ever tried them 
baked as you would beans? Leave skins on or take them off; they 
are, however, more palatable if skins are removed. 
For best results select warm, light or sandy soil rich in lime. 
Plant in rows 2% to 3 ft. apart, spacing the shelled nuts 8 to 10 in. 
apart in the row, or place them 16 to 18 in. apart in the row if plant- 
ed in the hulls. Cover with 2 in. of soil. Cultivate and hoe freely. 
In the fall, before frost, dig and hang vines under a shed or in an 
airy room to cure. One pkt. will sow from 15 to 25 ft. of row; 
1 lb. from 100 to 200 ft. according to method used in planting. 
Peanuts are shipped in the hull to prevent damage to the tender 
seeds. They can be planted either shelled or whole.
