six inches between the plants. When the leaves wither, 

 the bulbs are taken up and hung in a dry, cool place. 



HORSERADISH, (Nasturtium Armoracia.) 



For family use a few roots of this should be planted in 

 some out-of-the-way corner of the vegetable garden ; a 

 dozen roots, once- planted, will usually give enough for a 

 life-time, as it increases and spreads so that there is never 

 any danger of being without it ; the trouble is, if it is 

 once admitted into the garden, it is difficult to be got 

 rid of if so desired.
