You'll find where Sir Alexander mentions seeing a great many of these plants. They used the tops in their pemmican.
Turnip seed, too, mangel-wurzel and swedes, onion, pea, bean, carrot, parsnip, radish, and beet seeds could be grown here by the same skill, care, and training as they are grown abroad. The process is much simpler than others now in use and may be employed by any one who has a small greenhouse, no expert treatment being necessary. Says Mr.
Mackenzie was uncertain which of the two confluents to follow whether to ascend the Finlay, flowing from the north-west, or the Parsnip, flowing from the south-east.

"So there is an advantage on their side, isn't there, Mac? And it makes the game most eminently fair, doesn't it?" "Johnny, we're good for the five!" cried old Donald in a low, eager voice.

She could play the piano and sing; she could speak three languages and read four; she had made her curtsy at two foreign courts; admiration and love had followed her ever since she could remember, and here she was, a widow at forty, living in a half-deserted New England village, making parsnip stews for her children's dinner.
I know he can still drink a few glasses of cider, but what do you want? Was not cider made to be drunk? For my part, I prefer a man like him to half-a-dozen of those white-faced teetotalers. They look as if they had just been dug up like a fresh parsnip."
