Half Long Guernsey Parsnip

The Guernsey variety was the most popular parsnip of the 19th century. Introduced prior to the 1850s, this variety is medium long and has thick shoulders and smooth white skin. The flavorful flesh gets even sweeter after a good frost in autumn. In 1898, Nebraska Seed Company of Omaha said, “As name indicates, not as long as the Hollow Crown. Quality very sweet and delicate.”
