Parsley, Extra Double Curled, the handsomest and best. Per oz., 10 cents; per paper, 5 PARSNIP. Of all root crops the Parsnip is the most delicious. It is very nutritious, more easily raised than the Carrot and can remain in the ground all Winter without injury. Sow as early in the Spring as the land can be got into perfect condition, but not earlier. A good crop can be obtained if not sown till June, but it is better if sown earlier. The Parsnip will do well either on clayey or sandy land, provided it is well drained, deep and rich. It can hardly be made too rich. I have raised enormous crops on land which received the water from a sheep yard. The Parsnips were very large, smooth and of ex- cellent quality. I mention the fact, not to commend the practice of letting any of the manure be carried off by our heavy rains, but to show that Parsnips do not object to rich land. Sow in rows fifteen inches apart. Sow thick, say three seeds to an inch. The seeds are slow to germinate and you must hoe the moment the rows can be traced. Hoe once or twice before you weed or thin out. A skillful man can do most of the weeding and thinning out with a small hoe. Thin out to about four inches apart. Parsnip, Long Hollow Crown.
