PARSNIP

This article appears in Volume V20, Page 868 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: PAI-PAS
PARSNIP , botanically known as Pastinaca sativa (or Peucedanum sativum), a member of the natural order
Umbelliferae
 , found wild in roadsides and
waste
  places in England and through-out Europe and temperate
Asia
 , and as an introduced plant in North America. It has been cultivated since the time of the Romans for the
sake
  of its
long
  fleshy whitish root, which has a
peculiar
  but agreeable flavour. It succeeds best on a free sandyloam, which should be trenched and manured in the previous autumn, the manure being well buried. The seed should be sown thinly in
March
 , in rows 15 to 18 in. apart, and finally thinned out to r ft. apart. The leaves will decay in October or November, when a portion of the roots may be taken up and stored in dryish sand for immediate use, the rest being left in the ground, to be taken up as required, but the whole should be removed by
February
  to a dry cool place, or they will begin to grow. The best sorts are the Hollow-crowned, the Maltese and the Student. Dusting the ground with soot when sowing the seed and again when the leaves appear will keep the
plants
  free from pests.
