Sage. 



Horseradish {Cochharia Armoracid) is raised from 

 sets saved during preparation for market of the pre- 

 vious crop. These are put into the ground as early as 

 the soil can be prepared. Plough four furrows together, 

 and thus form a ridge : along the middle of this ridge 

 the sets are planted by hand, eighteen inches apart, 

 and covered two inches deep. A series of ridges thus 

 formed will bring the rows about three and one-half feet 

 apart. A row of spinach is sown on one side of this 

 ridge, and a row of beets on the other side, leaving 

 the centre occupied by the horseradish, which is very 

 slow in staranr. so that the others will not interfere
