| @® For market, the leaves may 
be tied im small attractive 
bunches. Very desirable for 
garnishing, or if to be used for 
flavoring, the leaves may be 
dried crisp, rubbed to a powder 
and kept in bottles. The seed 
is very slow to germinate and 
the same method as used for 
starting parsnip seed should be 
followed. Plant 4 oz. to 100 
feet of row or 3 Ibs. per acre 
to a depth of not more than % 
inch. Rows may be one to two 
feet apart and the plants should 
be thinned 4 to 8 inches apart 
in the row. Cutting the leaves 
often will improve their quality.

@ 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 moisture. Do not allow the 
soil to become 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 parsnips 
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 47.
