To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Deep cultivation and manuring will secure these qualities even in rather a heavy soil, but the use of ma- nure the previous year for another crop to be followed by parsnips is the proper course, for roots on freshly man- ured land are apt to be misshapen. Parsnip seed is light and should receive a shallow covering but it is necessary that it should be well firmed in moist soil to secure ger- mination. As soon as the plants are two or three inches high the rows should be cle aned of weeds, the p...lants spaced, and frequent use of the cultivator begun, to con- tinue all summer. The suggestions made for the prepara- tion of soil and cultivation of the beet and the carrot have direct application to the growth of the parsnip, and the reader is referred to them. In garden culture good roots can be grown in rows about 15 inches apart, and the plants thinned to half that distance in the rows to leave room for development. la the rainy parts of the State it is customary to sow parsnips as soon as the ground is in good condition in February, as the plant is quite hardy.
