Parsnips Anyone?
George J. Clifford, of 2808 N. Campbell, holds two large parsnips grown in his home garden. Largest parsnip is 20 inches long, 14 inches in circumference and weighs two and one half pounds. Clifford says organic gardening is hobby and he is president of Valparaiso Organic Garden Club. Success is due to plenty of rain, rich soil and fertilizers.
