When the parsnips have been allowed
to run wild in this way the root is
considered to be poisonous.
The seeds of parsnips should be
sown as early as convenient in the
spring in rows Is inches to feet
apart. The plants should later be
thinned to stand inches apart in the
row. A rich soil with frequent culti-
walton is necessary for success with
this crop. The roots are boiled until

Carrots are cultivated in practical
ly the same way as the parsnips, but
are not thinned so much and are al
lowed to grow almost as thickly as
planted. Those not used during the
summer are dug in the autumn and
stored in the same manner as parsnips
or turnips. If there is a surplus 1t may
be fed sparingly to horses and mules
or cattle.

mashed like potatoes and are de-
sirable addition to the ordinary win
ter fare. They require a rich soil and
may be grown either as an early or
late crop. For late crop it is GUS
tomary to sow the seeds broadcast on
land from which some early crop has
been removed. In the north this is
done during July or August,
but the usual time is later in the
south. The plants are quite hardy
and the roots need not be e, gathered
until after several frosts. They may
then be stored in a cellar or buried
in a pit outside. Before storing, the
tops should be removed. If an early
crop is desired the seed should be
sown in drills IL to IS inches apart
as early in the .spring as the condi-
ton of the soil will permit. After the
plants appear they are thinned ito
about inches. Two pounds Of seed
are required to plant an acre.
The rutabaga is quite similar to the
turnip and is grown in much the same
way. 1t requires more space, how
ever, and longer period for its
growth It is used to considerable
extent for stock feed and has the adj
of being quite hardy.

Washington, D. c., March 20.-There
are a. number of vegetables which.
though grown in summer. are usual
ly planted for use in the following
winter. An adequate supply of these
produced in the home garden will do
much to make the familys winter
fare more attractive and more eco
nomical. Among garden products OF
this type may be named cabbage. car
rots, parsnips, turnips and rutabagas:
Both early and late varieties OF
cabbage are grown extensively. In the
North early cabbage may be planted
in the hotbed during February and
transplanted to the open ground as
soon as the soil is ready to be worked.
For a late crop it is customary to
plant the seeds in a bed in the open
ground in May or June and transplant
them to the garden in July. For cab
bage of this character the soil should
be heavier and more retent1ve OF
moisture than for early cabbage, which
requires rich, warm soil in order to
reach maturity quickly. For the late
variety it is not desirable to have too
rich a soil, as the heads are liable to
burst. Cabbages should be set in
rows 80 to 36 inches apart, the plants
standing II to Is, inches apart in the
row.
The store cabbage the heads should
be buried in pits or placed in cellars.
One method is to dig a trench about
Is inches deep and feet wide and
set the cabbage upright with the heads
close together, and the roots embedded
in the soil. When cold weather comes
the heads are covered lightly with
straw and or 4 inches of earth put
in. Slight freezing does not inture
cabbage, but it should not be subjected
to repeated freezing and thawing.
Early cabbage can not be kept, as it
does not stand hot weather well. It
should be used soon after it has
formed solid head.
Caulihower is cultivated in much
the same way as cabbage, but when
the heads begin to develop the leaves
may be tied over them in order to ex-
clude the light and keep the heads
white. Cauliflower requires a rich,
moist soil and thrives best under ir
rigation. The tender heads of this
vegetable are boiled with butter or
cream and also used for picking. 4
The roots of the parsnip are dug
late in the fall and stored in cellars OF
pits, much as cabbage is, or else al
lowed to remain where they are grown
and dug as required for use. All roots
