ground it will not succeed : the situation 

 cannot be too open. 



Planting. It is propagated by cuttings 

 of the side-roots, which spring from the 

 crown of the plants, and run horizontally 

 just beneath the surface. Plant in Ja- 

 nuary, February, or early in March 

 Each set, having a bud or two, should be 

 about two inches beneath the surface. 

 The only cultivation they require is to be 

 frequently hoed, and in autumn the de 

 cayed stalks to be cut down, and the 

 earth stirred between the rows. 



The roots are not fit for use until of 

 three or four years' growth. The season 

 for taking them up is December, January, 

 or February. A trench must be dug up 

 regularly along each row, quite down to 

 the extremity of the principal roots, 

 which descend two feet and more.
