PARSNIPS 
Parsni do best in rich, deep soil. Sow early in 
drills 2 ee apart; cover one-half inch deep and press 
soil firmly. Thin to 4 inches apart in the rows. Culti- 
vate freely. The quality is improved by leaving them 
in the ground for frost to strike them, as they are 
perfectly hardy, or they may be stored for winter use. 
One package of seed will sow 25 feet of row; 1 ounce, 
150 feet. 
Hollow Crown. Standard for home or market 
arden. Long, smooth, white, tender, and sugary.
