General Description:

This is an excellent variety with long roots, with a fine flavour. They are smooth skinned and with a good resistance to canker

Sowing Instructions:

For long parsnips you need a deeply dug soil which has been manured for a previous crop. However, they will also do well on ordinary well drained and cultivated soil. Sow April to June, 1cm (½ inch) deep in drills 30cm (12 inches) apart. Sow in clusters of 4 seeds every 20cm (8 inches) and thin out to the strongest seedlings after germination. Germination is very slow.

Growing Instructions: 

Harvest the roots from autumn onwards, leaving them in the ground until required.
