 to form another plant the following season, though it is deci- 

 dedly preferable to make a new plantation every two years, as 

 when the roots become old they have a hard, bitter taste. 

 Before the Winter sets in, there should be a sufficient supply 

 lifted for use, and stored in the root-cellar, in moist earth. If 

 they are allowed to become dry, they lose their sprightly flavor

Adams 1 Early very similar to the above, but a few days 

 later Grains not so full though equally as fine flavored. 



Sweet, or Sugar. There are two varieties of this ; the one 

 that has eight rows of grains on the cob is the best. It re- 

 mains some time in a milky state, and therefore the same sow- 

 ing is fit for the table a longer period. The grains <?f the
