Long Smooth Hollow Crown
95 to 120 days — 'Long Smooth Hollow Crown' parsnips have roots that taper down to about twelve inches long and are two to three inches thick at the shoulders. When they are exposed to the first frosts of the fall season, the sweetness is enhanced. Each packet contains three grams, which is approximately 450 seeds.
Planting Instructions: Plant as early in the spring as the ground can be worked. Successive sowings into mid-summer will provide a fresh supply through winter.
Loosen soil to a depth of 18 inches. Cover the seeds with ¼ to ½ inch of soil in rows two feet apart. When the plants are well established, thin to four to six inches apart.
The root flavor improves with frost and they can be left in the ground during the winter. Mulch with straw and harvest as needed.

Of all the parsnips I have tried, this is the prettiest looking when harvested. I have had pretty good harvest with this one although I do love them all. I want to try fall planting with the parsnips.
