One ounce will sow a 
PARSN | row 150 feet long; 5 to 6 
lbs. to the acre. 
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 14 inch 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. 
IMPROVED HOLLOW CROWN PARSNIP. Our stock is the 
popular type, much in favor with the gardeners; smooth white, 
uniform in shape as shown in the illustration; they are extra fine.
