Some calturists, recommend sowing
parsnips as early in the spring as the

We have, however, seen excellent
crops raised from seed sown a ter most
other Vegetables we're up, and pretty
well advanced; and when the crop SIS
intended for winter use, ] am deci-
dedly of the opinion that, as in the
case of carrots, late sowing is much
to be preferred. The par$nip, like
the beet, requires a deep, rich, mel
low, and rather warm soil to secure
the perfection of its many exec llent
qualities; and where these cirfumstan-
ces unite, it will, if assisted by sys-
tematic cultivation, prove a remqner-
ating and highly desirable product
on any..farm. In selecting Sc led, great
