should be planted in rows about foot
apart, and when the plants are well
up they should be thinned to 4 or 3
inches in the row. For succession
of young beets during the summer,
paintings should be made every four
or five weeks during the summer
months. Beets intended for winter
storage should be sown until late in
the summer. The young plants Chin

Parsnips should be thinned so the
plants stand inches apart in rows

The culture of the carrot is prac.
tically the same as the parsnip, ex.

having flat, hollow leaves which are
used for flavoring soups. The chive
