For market, the leaves may 
be tied in small _ attractive 
bunches. Very desirable for gar- 
nishing, 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 pars- 
nip seed should be followed. 
Plant Y% oz. to 100 feet of row 
or 3 Ibs. per acre to a depth of 
not more than 1/2 inch. Rows may 
be one to two feet apart and the 
plants should be thinned 4 fo 8 
inches apart in the row. Cutting 
the leaves often will improve their 
quality.

Plant 1% 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. Do not allow the soil to be- 
come dry as germination will be ruined. 
A few lettuce seed mixed with the pars- 
nip will come up quickly and mark the 
row so that you can cultivate. For the 
best quality, 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 8.
